Index of Herbs for Abortion / Abortifacient Herbs
Cotton Root Bark is one of the least toxic plants on this list of abortion herbs as long as you can find organic cotton root bark that has not been sprayed with toxic insecticides.What is an herbal abortion?
An herbal abortion is a self-induced miscarriage that is produced by taking the proper herbs at the right time and in the right dosage. Taking an herbal abortion concoction requires some knowledge and care as the wrong dose of these herbs can be fatal.This is an unregulated form of abortion that is still an option for women who have no other option, which is why we present it here. Herbs that induce miscarriage typically block the hormone progesterone which is the reproductive hormone responsible for maintaining a healthy pregnancy.
How is an herbal abortion different from a surgical abortion?
A surgical abortion typically is an out-patient procedure. And women have the guidance of their doctors to support them through the recovery process. Surgical abortion is also more than 20 times as expensive as an herbal abortion and it can, in some cases, be more traumatic on a woman’s reproductive organs than an herbal abortion. And finally, surgical abortion is not always available to women, especially after Roe vs. Wade was repealed.With an herbal abortion, women must go through the process of miscarriage alone at home. Bleeding can last from 1 to 2 weeks after a woman takes an abortifacient herb. Herbal abortion can be dangerous because no one is monitoring the process and because dosages of herbs vary from woman to woman. Physiological responsiveness to different herbs also vary from woman-to-woman.
Women should not attempt to use herbs to end a pregnancy past 24 weeks gestation. To do so is extremely dangerous, the woman can die, and also it is unlikely that the herbal abortifacient will be successful. Women risk being charged with attempting to self-induce an abortion if they end up in the hospital after having taken a concoction of abortifacient herbs. So, women need to be cautious about using these herbal abortion remedies to avoid landing in prison, or worse, to avoid an untimely death.

Yes. There are over 500 herbs that can be used as abortifacients (herbs that cause abortion) and some of them can be used in the same way as the Plan-B pill. Protocol #1 (see below) which combines Pennyroyal Tea with Mugwort can be used to prevent implantation of an ovum.Daucus carota / Wild Carrot Seed as an Herbal Plan-B
Wild carrot is a natural morning after herb. It can be used as a Plan-B herb because it contains porphyrins that trigger the pituitary gland to release sex hormones which triggers menstruation and prevents implantation of an ovum. Toxicity of wild carrot seed is low.Daucus carota / Wild Carrot Seed Dosage as an Herbal Morning-After Pill
Administer 20 to 40 drops of Wild Carrot Seed tincture up to four times daily.Alternatively, you can administer a tea/infusion by boiling water. Put 1 teaspoon of the seeds in a mug and pour the boiling water over it. Allow it to steep for 10 to 15 minutes. Drink 3 mugs of Wild Carrot Seed tea daily for up to 6 days.
Another source recommends that women chew 1 teaspoon of the dried wild carrot seeds daily washed down with water.
Are herbal abortions safe?
If the right dosage of the proper plants are used to induce abortion at home, an herbal abortion can be safe. Be patient with the herbs when you take them and give them time to work. Don’t take an overdose of an herbal abortifacient out of fear that an herbal abortion won’t work. Some women have access to surgical abortions, but they choose to do an herbal abortion because it is more natural and often, safer than a surgical abortion. Women have used herbs for centuries to induce abortion naturally at home. The myth that an herbal abortion is unsafe is essentially a form of propaganda. But be smart when you use herbs to cause abortion. Give them time to do their job and don’t take an overdose of an herbal abortifacient in an effort to get things moving. If you end up in the hospital due to an overdose on herbs that cause abortion, you could get hit with legal problems and you’re creating bigger obstacles to honest information about herbal abortifacients for other women.It can be easy to overdose on herbal abortifacients. Stick to the proper recommended dosage and be patient. Success rates vary, of course, but taking a higher, potentially toxic dose of herbs that cause abortion can lead to negative outcomes for you, dear reader, and all women.
What is the success rate for herbal abortions?
Different sources claim that the success rate for herbal abortions varies from 20% to 80% or from 40% to 80%. Most herbal abortions that are successful are not reported, so it’s impossible to know for sure.Why Women Choose to Do Herbal Abortions

How to Do an Herbal Abortion
In order to do an herbal abortion at home, you must combine at least two herbs. One herb must be an emmenagogue that stimulates blood flow from the uterus to promote menstrual flow. The second herb must be oxytocic to stimulate the contraction of the uterus. Angelica archangelica is the only herb in this list that is both an emmenagogue as well as an oxytocic herb.Emmenagogue Herbs
These are herbs that stimulate blood flow to the pelvic region and to the uterus to stimulate menstruation.- Mentha pulegium / Hedeoma pulegiodes / Pennyroyal
- Angelica archangelica / Angelica
- Artemisia vulgaris / Mugwort
- Cimicifuga racemosa / Black Cohosh Root
Oxytocic Herbs
Oxytocic herbs contain phyto-oxytocins that mimic the action of human oxytocin in the body. These phyto-oxytocins stimulate uterine contractions through the release of prostaglandins. All oxytocic herbs are toxic at high enough doses. And as the dosage goes up, the uterine contractions may sometimes become more painful. Also note that oxytocic herbs can be somewhat toxic to the liver, especially with long-term use. If you have a history of hepatitis or another type of liver disease, you should avoid these herbs.- Angelica archangelica

- Caulophyllum thalictroides / Blue Cohosh
- Gossypium herbaceum / Cotton Root Bark

The AlivenHealthy Living Database is the tool that Lydian and I use to organize the data that we find while researching cures for diseases each day. Big Pharma, Big Food, and Big Ag work hard to hide the cures for diseases as well as the underlying causes of major diseases to maintain their profits. So it's hard for the average person to find scientific data about cures for disease even though the data exists! So, when Lydi and I find a cure for disease in the scientific literature or if we find anecdotal reports of disease cures that have worked for other people, we compile this information in our Living Database. Recently, we made this database available to the public via subscription so that more people could find links to studies and reports of cures for major as well as minor and even rare diseases.
