Will rhus tox interfere with your Coumadin?
Rhus Tox seems to be a homeopathic compound derrived from the plant Rhus toxicodendron-- a plant that I'm pretty sure doesn't exist. The articles call it Poison Ivy, but while that plant is sometimes archaically named as genus Rhus, it's also genus Toxicodendron-- for instance, the Poison Ivy I know and love from hiking is Toxicodendron radicans. T. radicans is rich in urushiol -- a truly nasty irritant toxin related to antigenic response. In other words, dangerous stuff. It's hard for me to believe that Rhus Tox has anything to do with urushiol or T. radicans. The reason I bring all this latin up is that, with so very many homeopathic remedies, it's really hard to know scientifically exactly what you're really getting. Worse, as "herbal" remedies are from live plants, the exact contents vary from season to season and year to year, so you NEVER really know what you're getting, or at what strength. As such, I know of no relationship between urushiol and coumadin, except the itching and toxic effects are pretty awful regardless of drug interactions. As I can't really tell what's in Rhus Tox, there's no way I can say if it's safe or not.

No, African sumac [Rhus lancea] isn't poisonous to animals. But it's a close relative of poison ivy [Toxicodendron radicans]. So all parts of the tree contain the urushiol oil to which many humans are allergic.
What is rhus toxicodendron 4x hpus?
From what I understand Rhus Toxicodendron is an older term for Toxicodendron Radicans; commonly known as poison ivy! I have a homeopathic remedy here, with one of the ingredients being this "Rhus Toxicodendron 6X HPUS... Why? What possible benefits could eating poison ivy have? I'm not really sure but I suppose since it's an extract the poisonous portion has been removed. At any rate I can't find much documentation on its purported medicinal properties, just that the plant sucks... I guess I'll eat it... Says it's for "charley horse cramps in thighs and calves at night."
