Based on my pattern diagnosis (Yin Deficiency with Blood Stagnation, Toxic Heat) I'd already ordered some herbs to start for palliative care (Hoxsey + Bonset; OSA I and OSA II from Natural Path -- modified Qing Gu San and Huo Luo Xiao Ling Dan respectively) -- I am thinking I may modify this slightly after surgery (possibly pausing the OSA II once pain has resolved, and adding in modified Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang).
My main question is -- do I need to have the owner discontinue/pause these herbs prior to the amputation surgery, from a coagulation/surgical safety standpoint? I believe Dang Gui (in OSA II) can have some anti-coagulant effects, but is this true more broadly of Blood Movers? Surgery is tentatively set for about 10 days from now with a boarded surgeon.
Thank you for your help!
