Doctors' responses
Sesbania grandiflora (Agathi) has mild Pitta-pacifying and anti-inflammatory properties in Ayurveda. Some parts (especially leaves/flowers) may show mild blood-thinning/antiplatelet effect. You are already on a blood thinner Combining with Sesbania may increase bleeding risk easy bruising gum/nose bleeding prolonged bleeding from cuts
Yes, Sesbania grandiflora may have mild blood-thinning effect If you take blood thinner medicine, use carefully. Small amount as food = usually okay Large amount / juice / powder = avoid Watch for bleeding gums, nose bleed, easy bruising, black stool. Tell me your blood thinner medicine name.
