If you’re having surgery and taking supplements you might want to stop them before your procedure.
* Ginkgo biloba, an herb used to boost memory may cause dangerous bleeding during surgery.
* Ginseng is taken to improve the immune system may affect sugar levels.
* Valerian root is often taken for sleep disorders can make anesthesia dangerous.
I recommend stoping all these supplements as soon as you know you are having surgery and inform your physician and anesthesiologist if you have been taking any of these supplements.
