Thrombosis and embolism

Thrombosis and Embolism – Natural Circulatory Support

Understanding Thrombosis and Embolism

Thrombosis occurs when a blood clot (thrombus) forms within a vein or artery, restricting normal blood flow. While clotting is a natural part of the healing process, clots that form inside healthy vessels can block oxygen to surrounding tissues, leading to serious complications such as heart attacks, strokes, or pulmonary embolism.

Poor circulation, prolonged immobility, obesity, smoking, hormonal changes, surgery, and certain medications can all increase the risk of clot formation.

At Newton’s Pharmacy, we offer a range of natural and compounded remedies to help support healthy circulation, strengthen blood vessels, and maintain normal clotting balance.
