What Is Thrombocytopenia?
The full formal name for thrombocytopenia is Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), and the main characteristic of this disorder is an abnormally low platelet count in the blood. Platelets are the small blood cells that clump together to form clots at the site of wounds and stop bleeding. When a blood vessel is damaged, the platelets rush to the spot of injury to stop bleeding, so repair can begin. It can be difficult to diagnose someone with ITP, because there are no clear symptoms. External bleeding may be more common, along with an inability for wounds to clot or scab over. Nosebleeds and bruising is also much more common. When the platelet count drops to below 30,000 platelets/microliter of blood, spontaneous bruising can occur on the arms and legs.

Instructions:
Aloe Vera
Anecdotal evidence heavily favors aloe vera as a quick way to boost platelet count and prevent many of the uncomfortable or unsightly symptoms of thrombocytopenia. Particularly, drinking aloe vera juice every day has been known to decrease bleeding of the gums and mouth, and provide an energetic boost as your body begins stepping up its platelet production.

Phosphorus
Although the exact mechanism isn’t clear, monthly doses of phosphorus can have a strong effect on a person’s platelet count. Phosphorus is also the second-most prevalent mineral in the body after calcium, so increasing phosphorus levels in the body spurs the creation of new tissues and cells, which is why it is beneficial for those suffering from ITP.

Cortisone
Cortisone has a decidedly steroidal influence, and for those who don’t want to take corticosteroids to boost platelet production, cortisone is an excellent alternative. Boosting your platelet numbers in a matter of weeks or months, cortisone is readily available and relatively inexpensive.
