Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Pedicularis densiflora is a herb .It s tea extract is used as a muscle relaxant by some.However it is being abused as a sedative by smoking.
In your case , with heart disease , and under warfarin treatment , it is better to avoid smoking a sedative like Pensicularis.Though no definite studies are done , they can effect your heart or interact with Drugs.
Take care
