Q. I started taking turmeric to help my psoriasis. Then I developed a severe rash and stopped it.
My biggest concern is that I take Coumadin. When I went in for a routine blood test my doctor told me that my blood, which should be between 2 and 3, was extremely thin at 13. I was told to come in immediately for a Vitamin K shot to reverse this effect.
A. Thanks for alerting us to a potentially life-threatening interaction between Coumadin (warfarin) and turmeric. Another reader reported liver enzyme elevation with this herb. Turmeric (curcumin) is not for everyone.
