You have a very good question. I would have to do a more extensive study on the particular herbs that you are going to presribe. I would think in general that any blood mobilizing herbs would be OK since they would decrease the likelihood of clotting. However, if you give me a list of herbs that you are going to prescribe, I can do a literature search on possible contraindications for people with Factor V Leiden deficiency and get back to you.
The formula is by Evergreen Herbs called "Calm" it contains the following herbs:
Bai Shao
Bai Zhu
Bo He
Chai Hu
Dang Gui
Fu Ling
Mu Dan Pi
Sheng Jiang
Zhi Gan Cao
Zhi Zi
Thanks for your help on this.
Sorry, your reply was buried in the posting list.
I did some research for you looking at the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Datatbase

Bai Shao, Mu Dan Pi, **** Gui, Sheng Jiang--all have anticoagulant, antiplatelet and antithrombotic effects. Theoretically combining them with any anti-coagulant therapy may increase the risk of bleeding. So if they are on any western anticoagulants, I would suggest that they are contraindicated to take these herbs in combination.
For some reason the previous post substituted **** for Dang.
So here is the post again.
