Hi Anne-Marie,

for what I could read nettle is rich on potassium and also contains iron. Since transfusion is adding iron to your count, if you are transfusion dependent, that doesn't sound good. Also my father now has increased potassium. Since he also has a low blood pressure diuretics are not good option to lower potassium. So to us it is not a good option to take.

Again yarrow has diuretic abilities so again because of a lower blood pressure is not an option for us.

Well that’s just my opinion. Hope I was helpful .
