Hello,

 

I'm in the same boat (will be having surgery) and

loved the suggestion on taking

echinacea/astralagus the week before for the

immune system.

 

But I don,t think I understand completely.

Are you saying that either of these 2 herbs

interfere with blood clotting?

 

Also, any ideas that surface for pain, I will

keep my eyes out for too.

 

Thanks,

Suzan
