yunnan paiyao and anestehsia

bbsadmin

Hi my name is Elisa
I am a new student´of Medboo. I have a question about the possible interaction between yunnan paiyao and the local anestehsia for the eye cataract....my mum has to be operated on the 8th of this month and I told her to take the small rescue pill of yunnan paiyao before entering the operation but the doctors said that even herbal remedies could interact with the local anestehsia (lidocaine)...
I do not believe it...we use to get lidocaine for teeth fillings too...and yunnan paiyao seems to work wonderfully for dental problems!
Am I right?
I need some help...I would like to be sure I am telling my mother to do the right thing by taking yunnan paiyao before the operation...
thanks in advance!
Elisa
