Ginger
Ginger is a well-known spice, less known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It is also an important natural blood thinner, thanks to the presence of salicylate in it. This salicylate is also a chief component of aspirin (in the form of acetylsalicylic acid), which in itself is a potent blood thinning drug. Incorporating ginger into foods in both fresh and dry forms gives the same effect. The blood thinning effect of the natural salicylate in ginger is probably less, with regard to medication blood thinners. [3]
