AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE ON COUMARIN

Moderately toxic, vascular tonic, hypotensive, and anti-inflammatory.

Coumarins are also anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and anti-edematous. Coumarins are a cooling vascular tonic, appetite suppressing polyphenol that smells like fresh cut lawn. It is commonly found in beans, and the grass and carrot families (poaceae, and apiaceae).

Coumarins are often hypotensive and hypolipidemic.

Excess of coumarins are known to cause liver damage, cancer, and impair cognitive development. Fermentation of coumarins results in formation of dicoumarin, a potent anticoagulant that competes with vitamin K and can cause internal hemorrhage.

While coumarin may be harmful as an extract, in the context of most herbs it has few reported cases of harm.
