Garlic
Garlic has been proven to be so effective at fighting high-cholesterol and circulatory problems that it is widely available in odorless tablet form. Specifically, garlic releases an organosufluric compound called allicin into the bloodstream when ingested. Allicin then becomes ajoene, which thins out the blood by reducing blood cholesterol. People wishing to treat conditions such as atherosclerosis with natural medication frequently increase the garlic in their diet or begin taking garlic extract tablets.
Ginger
Ginger is a perennial herb and a rhizome which used to spice everything from Indian food and Asian food in its fleshy form, to baked goods in its powdered form. As a medicinal herb, it is best known for its anti-nausea effect, but ginger is also effective at improving blood circulation.
The ginger oil in ginger root contains the hydrocarbon terpenes and oleoresin. Both terpenes and oleoresin have lymph-cleansing and circulation-stimulating abilities. Specifically, ginger lowers blood cholesterol by lowering the level of cholesterol absorption in the blood and liver. In large doses ginger can thin the blood in much the same manner as garlic.
Ginkgo Biloba
Gingko Biloba is an unusual Asian tree species which produces large, fleshy seeds. The extract from these seeds is used in many natural health products, and has become one of the most popular natural, alternative medical extracts in western Europe. Ginkgo Biloba is not only effective at combating hardening of the arteries, but also works in regards to microcirculation in tiny capillaries. Additionally, it is often used as a stimulant and a sexual performance enhancer.
