Effects of Ginger and Garlic on warfarin

[Vivek2689]

I am from India and had my valve replacement surgery in 2019 . I got fixed a On-x mechanical valve. I am on warfarin for life. Coming to the food culture , there is predominantly addition of Ginger and Garlic and they are somehow interacting with my warfarin intakes and affecting my INR. Can you please suggest what impact does garlic and ginger have on warf and precautions to be taken

never seen a verified example.

Test and know thyself I say ... and remember, dose the diet, not diet the dose.

As Pellicle says......dose the diet, do not diet the dose.
I have little experience with ginger but I consume garlic on a regular basis.....meats, pasta, etc. I have not seen garlic affect my INR.
