Dear people with uteruses,
At some point you may find yourself pregnant and for many, this may come as a surprise. It’s time to get educated about Mother Earth’s offerings that are not safe to use when carrying a pregnancy to full term.
The following herbs are a danger to your pregnancy in all methods, whether you are making them into teas, capsules, yoni steams, tinctures, or oil infusions. Note that oil infusions are different than essential oils — ALL essential oils are dangerous or even lethal when taken orally/internally.
Don Quai (Angelica) - never a good choice if you regularly deal with endometritis or heavy bleeding.
Pennyroyal & Parsley - intense side effects. Do further research.
Black Cohosh & Blue Cohosh - one relaxes cervix, one is a uterine stimulant.
Cotton Root Bark - interferes with progesterone, stimulates urine contractions. Will induce your menstrual cycle.
Wild carrot seed - when taken internally.
Worth noting as a BC method: neem oil. In the 90’s India widely used this oil in vaginal creams and suppositories as a birth control method. It’s almost 100% effective. Neem oil is an incredible gift from nature with many uses. Worth further investigation.
