Rebecca, I was just reading about the clotting ability of turmeric a few days ago! I have several vials of the blood clotting agent on hand, which is probably some variation of turmeric anyway! Haha. I also remember the article that I read said that Cumin had similar clotting abilities!
At any rate, I did want to support your post due to my having read similar studies and I am glad that you are OK! Axes and flesh rarely play well together! 🙂
