Panax notoginseng is famous for its effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. The total saponins in Panax notoginseng have the effect of promoting blood circulation, dilating blood vessels, increasing coronary and cerebral blood flow, and resisting platelet aggregation. It can reduce blood viscosity, inhibit atherosclerosis, dissolve existing blood clots and inhibit the formation of blood clots.

How to remove blood clots in daily life

1. Generally, the methods used to remove blood clots are surgery and taking anticoagulants, thrombolytic drugs, antiplatelet aggregation drugs, etc. These are only used by patients with more serious thrombosis, but you should also pay attention to taking the drugs in small amounts. For example, aspirin, a small amount can acetylate platelet cyclooxygenase, inactivate it, and prevent thrombosis, but taking large doses will accelerate blood coagulation to form thrombus, so it cannot be used for a long time. Moreover, even if the blood clot is dissolved through surgery or drugs, if you do not pay attention to improving your diet and maintaining your blood vessels, the garbage deposits in the blood vessels will increase and blood clots will still occur, creating a vicious cycle.

2. Adhere to a reasonable diet and use dietary therapy to maintain blood vessels. In your daily diet, you should eat more foods that can clear blood vessels and dissolve blood clots. Through diet therapy, you can clean out blood vessel waste, reduce blood viscosity, avoid stenosis or blockage of the blood vessel lumen, prevent thrombosis, and thus avoid the formation of blood clots.

3. Maintain good living habits, drink a glass of boiled water before going to bed at night and after getting up in the morning, and drink 1000-2000 ml of water every day. This can reduce blood viscosity and is very beneficial for preventing thrombosis; do more exercise in daily life, such as gymnastics, Tai Chi, walking, jogging, swimming, etc. Moderate exercise can promote blood circulation, reduce viscosity, and thus prevent and treat thrombosis.
