Turmeric and Blood Thinners Interaction
"On the Interaction between Turmeric and Blood Thinner"
Turmeric, its mild nature, refreshing taste and bitterness, has attracted much attention in the traditional medicinal use. In today's world, blood thinners are common medicinal drugs used to adjust the viscosity of blood and prevent the formation of thrombosis. However, when turmeric and blood thinners are used together, the interaction between them cannot be ignored.
Turmeric contains many active ingredients, such as curcumin. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that curcumin may have anti-platelet agglomeration effects, which are similar to some effects of blood thinners. If the two are used together, it may increase the risk of bleeding.
I once had a disease in the past, and I took blood thinners daily to control cardiovascular diseases. I also heard of the health care ability of turmeric, so I added turmeric products by myself. Not long after, the gums often bleed, and the skin also appeared ecchymosis. The reason is that turmeric interacts with blood thinners, resulting in an imbalance in the coagulation mechanism.
Therefore, doctors who take drugs should carefully review the medicines taken by the patients. If you take blood thinners and want to use turmeric, you must weigh the pros and cons. Patients should not act without authorization. They should consult a doctor before taking drugs to avoid risks, protect their health, control diseases before they start, and protect their health.
