I am taking low dose aspirin daily( ecotrin). I also drink ginger tea
for inflammation about every other day and sometimes daily( about
2000mg brewed for 5 minutes.)

Is there a problem with using both? I have read a few articles on this,
but there seems to be no firm conclusions about using both. There may a
greater danger with using warfarin and ginger. I am also awaiting a few
other articles from Pub Med to investigate this issue more.

Thanks.
Bruce

Not that I am aware of.

Would suggest you simply keep your doctor(s) in the loop about what you
are doing.

You are welcome, Bruce.

All thanks and praises belong to the LORD, Whom I love with all my
being.
