A member asked:
Is there an herbal or alternative therapy to use instead of heparin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I wouldn't try it: If you or someone you know is taking heparin, they require very accurate management of their coagulability (ability to make clots). It really requires the exact doses that manufactured pharmaceuticals posses with all of the fda mandated quality assurance that that entails.
