What is the suggested standard timeframe to stop ginger intake before scheduled surgery?

At least two weeks prior to the procedure.

Due to ginger's documented ability to interfere with normal blood coagulation mechanisms by acting as a natural anti-platelet agent, it must be discontinued well in advance of any surgical or invasive procedure where controlled bleeding is essential. Standard medical guidance, often applied to herbal supplements affecting clotting factors, suggests a precautionary withdrawal period. This timeframe allows the body's natural platelet function to return to a baseline level, ensuring that proper hemostasis (the process of stopping bleeding) can occur effectively both during the surgery and in the subsequent recovery period. Stopping ginger intake a minimum of two weeks prior is the recommended action to mitigate excessive bleeding risks associated with the operation.
