Brief Answer:
no natural treatment options

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

you haven't mentioned the reason eliquis was prescribed to you. In most cases atrial fibrillation is the reason. The options include either eliquis-like or coumarin-like blood thinners. Sometimes the blood-thinners are considered too risky and other options (antiplatelet drugs like aspirin) are preferred.

Unfortunately there are no trustworthy natural blood-thinners so you'd better stick to your doctor's advice.

Kind Regards!
