Beta Blockers; Blood thinners; Drugs that lower cholesterol; etc.

Not for myself, by the way.

Best wishes!

Andrographis has blood-thinning, clot-busting properties so it may intensify the action of blood thinners.

Here is an extensive review of Andrographis:

Linked above is wrapped. Most say caution when using with warfarin, but looks like the above abstract (2006) says the components do NOT impact warfarin.

Ahhhhhhhh...the joys of research.

Incidentally...you may have accidentally found something very very important!

This is extremely complicated...to say the least...

Andrographis paniculata Activates TRPV4 Channels.

http://www.ionchannels.org/showabstract.php?pmid=16899456

This ties into tyrosine phosphorylation, PKC delta, IL 6, etc.

Important? Oh, yea!

Wow! I found something for the great Marnie! I can't really believe it [bow]

There are apparently a number of holistic practitioners who are treating with Andrographis...

Please expand on the associations you're finding with how the Andrographis impacts the Lyme, for those of us too tired to look at the research (brief synopsis)

Best wishes [kiss]
