In checking out information on turmeric on the internet, I did find one observation that turmeric MAY have blood thinning properties. That information keeps popping up on different medical websites. That doesn't make the observation true, of course, but perhaps one should check with their doctor before starting to take turmeric.
"Medications that slow blood clotting (Anticoagulant / Antiplatelet drugs)....
Turmeric might slow blood clotting. Taking turmeric along with medications that also slow clotting might increase the chances of bruising and bleeding.
Some medications that slow blood clotting include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), diclofenac (Voltaren, Cataflam, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), naproxen (Anaprox, Naprosyn, others), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, warfarin (Coumadin), and others."
