Aspirin – is there a natural alternative in Ayurveda? - #16562
For the past few years, I’ve been taking aspirin regularly because my doctor recommended it for heart health. I had a minor issue with blood circulation, and they said aspirin would help prevent clotting. At first, I didn’t think much about it, but lately, I’ve been experiencing some stomach discomfort, mild nausea, and occasional acid reflux. A few days ago, I read online that long-term aspirin use can lead to digestive issues and even ulcers in some cases. That got me really worried. I’ve always been interested in natural healing, and a friend of mine follows Ayurveda for managing his health. He told me that there are herbs in Ayurveda that have blood-thinning and circulation-boosting properties, similar to aspirin. I’m not looking to suddenly stop aspirin, but I want to know if there are safer, natural options in Ayurveda that support heart health and circulation without the side effects. Are there any Ayurvedic herbs or treatments that work like aspirin but are gentler on digestion? Would it be possible to gradually transition from aspirin to a more natural alternative, or would stopping it be risky? Also, does Ayurveda have any special dietary recommendations to maintain good blood circulation and prevent clotting naturally? I’d really appreciate any insights on this. I just want to make sure I’m making the right decision for my long-term health.
