Home Remedies for Blood Clot Due to Injury

Blood is the most important component of the human body. It helps in the transportation of all the required nutrients in our body. It contains red blood cells, white blood cells, blood plasma, and platelets. All these have their unique functions in the blood. Blood helps to carry the oxygen to all parts and organs of our body. In some cases, due to injuries in your body, there is the formation of blood clots. The blood clots are formed in the arteries and it ultimately blocks the supply of nutrients to the important organs of our body.

Blood clots are basically formed around the area of injury. In some cases, it is good because it stops the excessive bleeding, but excessive clotting in your body is the sign of Deep vein thrombosis.  It can be formed in any part of your body.
