The INR (International Normalized Ratio) level reflects the ability or tendency of blood to clot. A higher value means reduced clotting. A value of 1 is defined as standard for a healthy person with no need to reduce the ability to clot. Those with a medical situation such as metallic heart valve replacement need a higher value to reduce clotting complications and should be taking something like prescribed coumadin under a doctors direction. (coumadin is the medical version of warfarin, commonly used as a rat poison).
The original poster indicated an INR value of 1.4. That means it is already somewhat above average and should be under medical supervision and should be following medical directions to control the INR value. If your doctor says it needs to be higher, follow the directions to accomplish this.
There are multiple factors that can increase (or decrease) the INR, changing the tendency for blood to clot. It can be the food you eat, herbal supplements, vitamins (K?), or just frequently taking aspirin (or ibuprofin, naproxen or other NSAID.s). THis should all be discussed with a medical professsional
