Guest guest Posted September 21, 2000 Report Share Posted September 21, 2000 Hi group I am needing some advice for my daughter (24 yo). My daughter has had several pregnancies, 2 AB, 1 to term, one tubal which ruptured, and does not desire another child now. She has tried BC pills 2 varieties (one ended in childbirth, second in tubal pregnancy) depo shots for one year made her incredibly sick for the year. She just went off the shot and returned to condoms and spermicide. Now I have heard about women who in the past used methods to control # of children with herbs, but I am having a hard time finding out which herbs and how to prepare them. Also are the herbs used to prevent pregnancy or to end one once it is started? Does anyone have any experience with alternative or ancient birth control? How successful was it? What are the pitfalls to think about? Thanks for all the goddesses out there willing to talk about or research this. Cecelia, Be love and laugh!!

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2000 Report Share Posted September 22, 2000 I will give my humble opinion on this one. Have her stick to condoms and rhythm and early withdrawl. Use her wits and sense. The body is a complex mass of chemicals and strives to keep in balance. Putting in things - whether they be herbs or pharmacuticals throws it into commotion. You can't just isolate one part of it. It is a " stew " . I know that sounds frustrating in her case but I have had to deal with the after effects in my clients that have done things like growbust - it messes up the delicate balance. If you really want to pursue the herbal line of thought - and I cannot agree with it - I don't know the herbs but I do know that when I was in Greece it was not an uncommon practice to use herbs for abortion. That makes me think that it can't be too healthy to the whole system.
