Turmeric & Ginger Drink for Healthy Blood Flow

Introduction

Blood clots are often linked to inflammation, thick blood, poor circulation, and sedentary habits. Both turmeric and ginger have been traditionally used to support circulation because they contain natural compounds that help:

Reduce inflammation

Improve blood flow

Prevent excessive platelet stickiness

Support heart and vascular health

This warm drink is commonly used as a preventive wellness tonic, not as a medical treatment.
