Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Yes but if you aren't taking coumadin, just aspirin and want additional anticoagulation protection these herbs should be considered. I personally take aspirin, capsicum (red pepper), ginger, ginseng and garlic for anticoagulation.
