DVT is blood condition relating to circulation and viscosity.

There are three main reasons for deep vein thrombosis.

Slowing of blood flow as in prolonged bed rest and/or inactivity due to sitting while travelling.

Injury to the lining of the vein as in surgery.

Increased tendency for blood to clot as in some cancers and rarely with contraceptive use .

About half the sufferers of DVT have no symptoms at all. in the others with inflammation and blood flow obstruction there can be swelling and pain in the calf, also the ankle , foot and thigh depending on the veins affected.

To improve this generally I suggest consuming foods with rutin on a regular basis eg lemon, buckwheat and blackcurrant. As well as taking a herbal mix with Rue . Recommendations for DVT :-
1. Drink ¼ squeezed and chopped lemon in hot water with small slices of ginger everyday . Lemon and ginger both improve circulation and make blood travel faster . Twice a day to start with to rebalance blood circulation system.
2. Eat one clove of garlic daily-garlic has favourable influences on cardiac factors
3. Walk daily for 20 minutes.
4. Avoid dehydration.
5. Avoid caffeine, alcohol and fatty foods
6. take omega 3 fatty acids -fish oil, walnuts, olive oil
7. no margarine, processed foods
8. consume cold water fish-, cut down on other animal proteins
9. a happy heart is the best medicine- reduce impatience and anger, try contemplation, meditation.
