What is herbal abortion?

Herbal abortion is the termination of pregnancy with herbal medicine, not through surgical techniques, or drugs such as mifepristone In the past, herbal abortions have relied on herbs that bring menstruation, cause contractions and soften the cervix The combination of these herbs can produce an abortion effect and thus terminate unwanted pregnancies Although surgery and drug abortion are legal in many countries, they are still considered illegal in many places That's why some women rely on herbal contraception and abortion to cope with unwanted pregnancies In addition, in countries where abortion is legal, there are also some people who choose to abort at home with herbal medicines Abortion herbs need to be used according to the mechanism and availability of termination of pregnancy Common herbs include black cohosh, blue cohosh and parsley Peppermint oil and other herbs, such as chrysanthemum, which have abortion effects or contain abortion inducing ingredients, are very dangerous and are associated with female death Some women who have access to legal abortion services choose herbal abortion because they are reluctant to use conventional drugs, because they think it is more natural Women with herbal abortion can choose herbal forms such as capsules, tea and tinctures It is generally not recommended for anyone to take herbal essential oil orally The concentration of essential oil is very high, which has been proved to be toxic and even fatal Herbal abortions are usually performed only at the beginning of pregnancy, in some cases even before the expected menstrual period This is because many of the herbs recommended for herbal abortion are known for their menstrual induction It should be known that there is a certain risk of herbal abortion They usually do not have a doctor's prescription or supervision Abortion may choose their own herbs and dosage If you do not know the contraindications such as diseases or allergies, the selected herbs may cause serious complications For example, if it's a tubal pregnancy, it's not only useless to end it with herbs, but also aggravate the existing dangerous diseases In addition, if the abortion of herbal medicines is not successful, external medical treatment needs to be sought, but the residual effects of herbal medicines may complicate the problem.
