Highly effective and advanced treatment for Deep Vein Thrombosis

What are the risk factors for deep vein thrombosis?

The risk factors for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) include:

• A family history of DVT
• Any injury or trauma to the deep vein 
• Any blood disorder that makes the blood clot
• Slow blood flow in a deep vein
• Ageing
• Obesity

What are the best home remedies for deep vein thrombosis?

1. Vitamin E- Vitamin E acts as a blood thinner and thus prevents the coagulation of blood. Thinner blood is less prone to clotting. Therefore, Vitamin E plays a crucial role in preventing and improving deep vein thrombosis.
2. Ginger- Ginger is an excellent home remedy for deep vein thrombosis. The salicylate present in ginger makes the blood thinner so that it can flow smoothly. Ginger also breaks down fibrins that contribute to the development of deep vein thrombosis. Also, ginger keeps a check on cholesterol levels and prevents plaque from building in the veins, thereby ensuring proper blood circulation.
3. Turmeric- Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin which has anti-inflammatory, blood-thinning, and anti-coagulant properties. Curcumin also improves the functioning of the inner lining of the blood vessels, and thus regulates blood pressure and prevents blood clotting.
4. Garlic cloves- Garlic cloves and garlic powder is another great remedy for deep vein thrombosis. Garlic has anti-thrombotic properties, which means that it prevents the clotting of blood. In addition to this, garlic improves blood circulation and provides relief from the symptoms of deep vein thrombosis.
5. Cayenne pepper- Cayenne peppers have high salicylate contents. Therefore, cayenne peppers regulate the flow of blood and make the blood thinner, thereby preventing it from clotting. Also, cayenne peppers monitor cholesterol levels and blood pressure and thus maintain proper blood circulation throughout the body.
6. Omega-3 fatty acid- Omega-3 fatty acids play a major role in maintaining vein health and repairing vein tissues. In addition to this, Omega-3 fatty acids keep the cholesterol and triglyceride levels in check. Therefore, Omega-3 fatty acids ensure the proper flow of blood and thus prevent it from coagulating.

Can compression stocking provide relief in deep vein thrombosis?

Compression stockings can reduce the swelling of the leg caused by a blood clot. These stockings are worn below the knee or just above the foot. The compression stockings create pressure on the leg and prevent blood from pooling or getting clotted.

Compression stocking can be of different types and made up of different materials. There are stockings that only protect your legs. But, compression stockings are designed to tightly fit around the legs, ankles and thighs, and exert pressure that allows blood to flow freely from the legs to the heart. Compression stockings are recommended in deep vein thrombosis not just to reduce the swelling and pain in the legs but also to improve the blood flow.
