Great question!: In fact there are many herbs, plants, spices (cinnamon!) that has additive blood thinning effects if used together with baby aspirin So discuss this with your doctor, and go over the list as certain ones work more on fibrin than platelets, and usually are indicated to be stopped for a week before any surgery:http://patientblog.clotconnect.org/2013/05/01/natural-supplements/
