Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HERBAL BIRTH CONTROL is a fascinating introduction to the ancient practice of using natural plant mixtures for contraception & abortion. It outlines the history of herbal contraception & abortion from the ancient Greeks, through the suppression of the Medieval Church, to the skeptical attitudes of modern doctors & bureaucrats. It identifies the particular plants that have been used for centuries, provides recipes gleaned from ancient & modern texts, & contains an amazing amount of information regarding the effectiveness & dangers of both ancient & modern forms of birth control. It is a short but important work that will shake up political, medical & pharmaceutical establishments & give women more options in their quest to control their own fertility. A gently feminist viewpoint, the book emphasizes the democratization of female medicine. It argues that women should have complete control of their own reproductive functions & for an end to medical & political prejudice against informed self-medication. It calls for further investigation of herbal contraception so that women might someday grow safe, effective herbs in their own gardens to control their own fertility with privacy & confidence. $10.00, Cloud Chief Publishing, P.O.
