Summary
A guide for trained and practiced herbalists and midwives to better serve their communities. Examines safety issues and benefits of herbal abortion; risk and efficacy considerations; criteria and protocol; herbal abortifacients, implantation inhibitors, emmenogogues, oxytocic herbs and more.
Please note: This is not a DIY manual. If you need to terminate a pregnancy, we advise getting a medical abortion where accessible, which is safer and more reliable. Even in places where abortion is illegal, people can obtain specific types of pharmaceuticals to induce miscarriage. However, we also believe that the history and knowledge of herbal methods should be preserved.
