Hello Navaka guggulu or any other guggulu formations will increase the blood circulation Slightly thin the blood Increases the overall effect of the blood thinners About swayam guptadi churna In some people it may affect the clotting And increases bleeding tendency So it is not advisable to have navaka guggulu and swayam guptadi Churna along with blood thinners

HELLO, If you are on blood thinners, both of there Ayurvedic formulation require caution. They are not automatically safe NAVAGA GUGGULU KEY INGREDIENT = Guggulu WHY CAUTION IS NEEDED: -Guggulu can have blood thinning/ anti platelet effects -It may increase bleeding risk when combined with -warfarin, apizaban,Rivaroxaban, Dabigatrann,Cloidogrel, Airin RISK -easy bruising -nosebleeds -bleeding gums -internal bleeding in severe cases CONCLUSION Generally not recommended with blood thinners unless supervised SWAYAM GUPTADI CHURNA This formula commonly contains -Kapikacchu -sometimes herbs that may mildly affect circulation SAFETY WITH BLOOD THINNERS -Less clerly anti coagulant than guggulu -but herbal powders can –interact unpredictably -affect liver metabolism which changes how blood thinners work If you are already having mild side effects from blood thinners adding herbal formulas increase unpredictability IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS Since you -have been on blood thinners > 6 months -Already experience mild side effects -are taking other prescription medications Your bleeding risk is already clinically relevant Adding guggulu especially -can increase INR -Increasing bleeding risk (If on DOACs) Instead of starting these directly 1) Identify the goal -> are you taking them for cholestrol? nerves? fertility? weakness? 2) CHOOSE SAFER ALTERNATIVES -Some herbs are gentler and less likely to interfere, but this depends on your condition 3) ALWAYS -inform your doctor -monitor INR closely if on warfarin -stop immediately if bleeding symptoms appear NAVAGA GUGGULU= not considered safe with blood thinners SWAYAM GUPTADI CHOORNAM= use only after approval DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELFUL THANK YOU

Guggulu has mild blood-thinning & anti-platelet effects and can increase bleeding risk when combined with anticoagulants Swayam Guptadi Choorna is Also NOT safe as it contains Kapikacchu (Mucuna pruriens) + other herbs with potential mild anti-platelet/vasodilatory action + heating properties, same increased bleeding risk. ✓Do NOT take either Navaga Guggulu or Swayam Guptadi Choorna while on blood thinners. ✓For joint/muscle pain or Vata issues: Yogaraja Guggulu (low dose, 1 tab BD) = less bleeding risk than Navaga Maharasnadi Kwath = 15 ml BD (no Guggulu, safer) Dashmoolarishta = 10–15 ml BD (mild & safer) Regards Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma

IF YOU ARE ON BLOOD THINNERS FOR MORE THAN 6 MONTHS I WOULD STRONGLY ADVISE NOT TO START NAVAKA GUGGULU OR SWAYAMGUPTADI CHOORNAM ON YOUR OWN EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AYURVEDIC MEDICINES THEY ARE STILL POTENT AND CAN INTERACT WITH YOUR CURRENT TREATMENT NAVAKA GUGGULU CONTAINS GUGGULU WHICH STIMULATES CIRCULATION AND CAN HAVE A BLOOD THINNING EFFECT WHEN YOU ARE ALREADY TAKING ANTICOAGULANT MEDICINES THIS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF BLEEDING OR ALTER YOUR CLOTTING PARAMETERS ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE ALREADY EXPERIENCING EVEN MILD SIDE EFFECTS SWAYAMGUPTADI CHOORNAM WORKS MORE ON NERVOUS SYSTEM AND METABOLISM BUT IT CAN STILL INTERACT INDIRECTLY THROUGH LIVER METABOLISM OR BY AFFECTING THE WAY YOUR BODY HANDLES OTHER MEDICINES SO WITHOUT KNOWING YOUR FULL MEDICAL HISTORY IT IS NOT SAFE TO ASSUME IT WILL BE HARMLESS IN SUCH CASES SAFETY IS ALWAYS FIRST PRIORITY I WOULD RECOMMEND DISCUSSING WITH YOUR TREATING PHYSICIAN AND ALSO CONSULTING AN EXPERIENCED AYURVEDIC DOCTOR WHO CAN REVIEW YOUR REPORTS YOUR INR OR CLOTTING PROFILE IF APPLICABLE AND THEN DECIDE WHETHER A MODIFIED DOSE OR A DIFFERENT HERB IS MORE APPROPRIATE PLEASE ALSO CONSIDER YOUR AGE THE REASON FOR BLOOD THINNERS AND ANY HISTORY OF HEART DISEASE BP OR DIABETES BEFORE STARTING ANY NEW MEDICINE PROPER ASSESSMENT IS VERY IMPORTANT WHEN ANTICOAGULANTS ARE INVOLVED

Guggulu combination interfers with blood thinner, better to consult ayurvedic physician. It’s better you tell us your problem and we can suggest the right combination Though ayurveda treatment is considered safe, but wrong combination can harm will not show results. Both the medicines you are asking are given for specific problem, and for specific Time, , which the treating doctor can recommend
