Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 The last post I sent didn't come through but the jist of it is that some herbs may intensify or prolong effects of narcotic drugs and anesthesia. Suspected are valerian, kava kava and St johns wort. Also some herbs may dangerously inhibit clotting and magnify warfarin's effects. These are garlic, ginko biloba, ginger, ginseng, dong quai (angelica sinensis) and dashen (salvia miltiorrhra) Be sure to tell dr. everything you take. Herbs can be strong medicine and not to be taken lightly. Madge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
