What is hemostasis, and why is it important for blood clotting? - #14712
I recently heard the term hemostasis, and I realized I don’t fully understand how the body stops bleeding when we get injured. I know that blood clotting is involved, but I don’t know exactly how it works or what happens if hemostasis doesn’t function properly. What exactly is hemostasis, and how does it prevent excessive blood loss? I read that it involves platelets, clotting factors, and blood vessel constriction—does that mean the process happens in stages? Also, what can go wrong with hemostasis—does an issue always lead to excessive bleeding, or can it also cause harmful blood clots? I also want to know if there are natural ways to support hemostasis. Are there foods, vitamins, or Ayurvedic remedies that help the body maintain a healthy balance between clotting and normal blood flow? If anyone has experienced a blood clotting disorder, how was it diagnosed, and what treatments helped? Did lifestyle changes make a difference in managing hemostasis issues?
