Meadowsweet tea as a blood thinner

Response to Meadowsweet Tea
 

I had dental surgery recently, and when asked about meds I was taking, I replied that I only take a cup of meadow sweet tea daily. I mentioned it was a blood thinner, but the doctor was very surprised with how much I bled, during the surgery. I also had trouble getting the wound to clot afterwards. I have no history of this problem. I anticipate going back to using the meadowsweet tea, but perhaps using a little less in my tea ball. I find it not only a very pleasant tea to drink, but it seems to help me keep my tendency to have excess acid in my blood under control nicely.
