Ginger, Tumeric, Garlic, Vitamin E, and Fish-oil-derived EPA and DHA are all natural anticoagulants one could take to help alleviate blood clots that
cause Thrombophlebitis rather than taking prescription Coumadin (Warfarin), and Plavix (Clopidogrel).
However, with any anticoagulant, you should only do so under medical advice from your doctor as thinning your blood can have medical risks of its
own.
In both cases, you would want to stay away from Aspirin or White Willow Bark as this specifically poses the additional risk of gastrointestinal
bleeding and peptic ulceration.
P.S. a search for Thrombophlebitis will get you more info than Tromboflebit will. The former is the medical term for the later Swedish term.
