🚨Taking Blood Thinners? Be Careful With Lymphatic Tonics
Today, a gentleman asked me to suggest a lymphatic tonic. I always make sure I ask questions when necessary as I do care about your overall well-being and do not want to suggest anything that would put you in a worst condition.
He said no and then said "ok, yes and I do dialysis 3 times a week".
It is important to be honest because natural doesn’t automatically mean risk-free. Some lymphatic-support herbs may have blood-thinning or platelet-affecting effects and could potentially increase the risk of bruising or bleeding when combined with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications.
If you take medications such as warfarin, Eliquis (apixaban), Xarelto (rivaroxaban), Plavix (clopidogrel), or aspirin, talk with your doctor or pharmacist BEFORE adding an herbal lymphatic formula.
Herbs can be powerful—especially when combined with medications. Always check for interactions before adding a new herbal supplement.
