Hi all
I have a px who has come to me with depression - I am treating her constitutionally. However, she has also had a DVT a few yrs ago & there is quite a h/o heart dx in her family.
Can anyone suggest any support rxs/herbal rxs?
Do u think i shd give CCC Q &/or anything else?

Hi Shannon,
I think for the heart problem your patient needs Crateagus and for the DVT -
to aid thinning of the blood- Ginkgo. Both in Herbal Tinctures and unlike
homeopathy you can mix them!

Dear Rochelle and Shannon,

Gingko is contraindicated if the pt. is taking Warfarin for the DVT (which
does nothing for the clot but prevents further growth of it. Once a clot has
formed it has a life of its own). Kali mur has been known to fix clots.

Sorry not quite sure what u mean be 'fixing' the clot? Do u mean that it
remains as a clot & if so, does it then still pose the same threat of
breaking off & travelling to the brain?
thanx
