Good luck in your search, there is not a lot of interaction info on herbs. With the most common herbs we do know what the major actives are but herbs contain many substances, some are know and many are unknown. For this reason it is a grave mistake to assume herbs are safe in terms of interactions. We just do not know. If one takes
Comudin, an anticoagulant, herbs drastically effect the Comudin levels, lowering them. Many take Comudin because they have replacement heart valves. Without the correct level of Comudin there is a risk of clotting, heart attack, ect. This can be a deadly interaction.james
