What are the potential risks when using herbs to terminate pregnancy?
First let me say that Abortifacients are strong powerful herbs and should be used only for short periods of time, as they can tax the body, stress the kidneys and liver and often they will make one feel ill. They should not be used for more than a week to ten days (14 days is the absolute maximum, then you must take a break). Unless directed by your herbalist or midwife. After using herbal abortifacients it is a good idea to drink a healing nourishing teas and do all you can to aid your body in the recovery process. It doesn’t matter if the attempt was successful or not. The whole process is hard on the body, mind and spirit. What can go Wrong The herbs won’t work – If the herbs don’t work, its very important to follow up with a clinical abortion (either surgical or chemical). If the pregnancy is continued there is a risk of the child having birth defects, or there may be complications during the pregnancy. Normally attempts to induce miscarriage at home with herbs occurs during weeks
