Coumadin is a blood thinner. It is used to reduce the formation of blood clots. My notes show that Clove and Peppermint have anticoagulant (blood thinning) properties. Modern Essentials suggests Clove, Fennel, Thyme, Grapefruit. You may decide which of these is best for his circumstance.

I am trying to help a man who has been prescribed Coumadin after heart valve surgery. He's been taking it for a while, and is having problems with his kidneys working properly. He has somehow contracted a staph infection, and the anti biotic that the doctor prescribed has caused his blood to thicken (working against the Coumadin), and he is feeling very ill. His wife is learning about essential oils, and would like to know if it is possible that he could replace the Coumadin with a DoTerra oil, that would alleviate the stress on his kidneys. Do you know of any oil that we could introduce (1-2 drops per day) and possibly wean him off of the Coumadin eventually, or even lessen the daily dosage? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
