When your body produces a blood clot, it is typically done in order to prevent bleeding somewhere. A number of factors are involved, including blood platelets and fibrin, a substance that helps to hold clots together. While this is important if you are hurt, blood clots forming in healthy blood vessels can be dangerous – and even deadly! Ginkgo biloba is widely used for many different health concerns, but in terms of blood clots, ginkgo can reduce the amount of fibrin in the body, thus making it more difficult – if not impossible – for blood clots to form and wreak havoc on your cardiovascular system.
