The effect and complications of Polycythemia can be reduce by some natural products listed below
Kiwi Fruit:
The Use of Kiwi fruit is found very helpful in platelet reduction.

Grape Juice:
Researchers have studied that the use of Purple Grape Juice may help in reducing the risk of blood clots. Purple Grape Juice; somehow have the ability to unstick thickly populated blood platelets.

Dark Chocolate:
At the XIX Congress of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis, held in the UK in July 2003 a study from Ninewells Hospital, Scotland, was presented about Dark Chocolate, which is quite interesting.
At the XIX Congress of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis, held in the UK in July 2003 a study from Ninewells Hospital, Scotland, was presented about Dark Chocolate, which is quite interesting.
It was reported that Dark chocolate inhibits platelet
clumping (aggregation), a major cause of blood clots (thrombi) that
trigger heart attacks and stroke.
Thirty subjects were randomized
to receive 100 grams of white chocolate, milk chocolate, or dark
chocolate. Four hours later, blood samples of each group were tested in
vitro to see if chocolate intake modified platelet aggregation. While
white chocolate had no effect and milk chocolate showed a trend towards
reducing clumping, dark chocolate inhibited platelet aggregation by 92%.
Of the three types of chocolate, dark chocolate has the highest content
of flavonoids, known to inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX1) that helps block
platelet aggregation.
The researchers suggest that dark chocolate has potential to reduce thromboembolism and cardiovascular diseases.
Vitamin E:
Vitamin E is known as anti-thrombin. It circulates in the blood and prevents platelet aggregation or clots occurring inside the vessel, but does not interfere with the normal clotting process in wounds or with normal healing. In fact, it actually accelerates healing of burns and wounds.

Of course, Vitamin E does not have the possible side effects of aspirin. Sesame oil further reduces the risk of thrombi.
