Could Taking Chanca Piedra And Horsetail Grass Cause Blood Clots In Both Legs?
My brother in law went into the hospital with nausea, high heart rate & low oxygen. They found he has many blood clots in both legs & both lungs. He has been taking the herbs Chanca Piedra & Horsetail grass for kidney stones, could one or both of those have contributed to this? They are keeping him in the hospital & gave him Heparin & Coumadine & seem to expect good results, but I wanted to know if we should get rid of those herbs.

hai,
Chanca piedra is a type of amla. it contains vitamin c and traceable minerals. no evidence of causing blood clot.
horsetail (Equisetum)is diuretic type and got active principles like flavnoids etc.it will be helpful in renal disorders.
both (horsetail and chanca piedra) don't have any evidence for causing blood clot.
no need to withdraw unless your kidney stone problem solve.
thank you
hope i answered your query.
