**4. Conclusion**

The anticoagulant mechanisms maintain the constant blood flow while inhibiting the progress to hypercoagulable states. The process of maintaining the delicate balance between the coagulation system, the integrity of the haemostasis and the significant contributions of the various system involved is continuous. Supplementation with traditional medications could be beneficial in the treatment and prevention of hypercoagulable states. Further studies are required to evaluate the new classes of anticoagulants and traditional medications with anticoagulant potentials towards improving healthcare to the patients demanding hypercoagulable therapy.
