How long will you be able to drink ginger tea after the operation?

AGirlFromItalyOct 4, 2022
I am planning to have a rhinoplasty, but I am worried about one thing: I suffer from IBS, and one of the most useful "tools" to keep my symptoms under control is the ginger herbal tea I drink every day. I have read that it is necessary to stop taking ginger two weeks before the operation, but after how long will I be able to start drinking it again without risking a nosebleed? Thank you in advance!
