Dangers of Clumped-Up Blood Clots in Your Body

A blood clot that forms in the heart can lead to a heart attack, and a blood clot in the brain can lead to a stroke. A blood clot can also develop in the deep vein of the lower leg, thigh or pelvis. These blood clots can break off and travel through the bloodstream to the lungs. There, it can stop blood from flowing to the lungs, and lead to death. Blood clots can become so dangerous because they can impede or block blood flow to vital organs in the body. Amita Avadhani, Ph.D., specialty director and associate professor at School of Nursing at Rutgers, State University of New Jersey, said, “Our vital organs, such as brain, lungs, and heart, need oxygen to function. Without oxygen, the brain cells start dying after four minutes, causing permanent damage to the organs and their functionality as the time progresses,” One of the ways in which blood clots forms is when blood flow in your arteries and veins slows down or stops. A stoppage or slowing down of blood flow is medically known as “stasis.” There are two types of stasis that can increase your risk of a blood clot, one occurring in the arteries and the other occurring in the veins. Long periods of sitting (such as on long flights or car rides), pregnancy, and a history of blood clots can slow down your blood flow and increase your risk of a blood clot. Other people who are at higher risk of developing blood clots are older age people, overweight, smokers, people who were hospitalized, people who underwent surgery, women who underwent hormone therapy containing estrogen, people with long term diseases such as diabetes, women who were pregnant and postpartum and people who had cancer or underwent cancer treatments. Some simple ways you can take to prevent blood clots is to stay hydrated by drinking water throughout the day, don’t smoke or vape. Get up and move your legs often if you are seated for long periods of time. An effective way to avoid or minimize the dangers of blood clots forming in your body is to do HijamaEnergetics sessions regularly, about every 4 months. This is a natural remedy to remove these blockages that cause the obstructions of blood flow. Regular HijamaEnergetics sessions help to cleanse out the clumped up blood and prevent further serious ailments down the line.
