Reclaiming Our Ancient Wisdom:
Herbal Abortion Procedure & Practice for Midwives & Herbalists, Eberhardt Press.

Tw: abortion

«This pamphlet is the culmination of many years of research into the historic practice of herbal abortion. It has been my attempt to compile this traditional
knowledge into a comprehensive resource for midwives and herbalists to use in their practice. The use of herbal abortifacients can play a valuable role in herbal and midwifery practice and is a needed skill for many future
midwives. By reclaiming this knowledge midwives will
provide women with more abortion choices, while at the
same time reclaiming the wise woman tradition of the
midwife as pregnancy, birth and abortion provider. There is still a great deal of knowledge yet to be
discovered and reclaimed in the field of herbal abortion. As current information is reevaluated, studied
and scrutinized, historic methods are rediscovered and deciphered. While more studies and research
into herbal abortion are useful, it is also important to critically analyze the role that science and medicine
have played historically in wiping out this information in the first place. I would encourage all midwives who wish to integrate this knowledge into their practice to do further research into this subject. It is through our
own investigations and research that we will keep this knowledge in the hands of women.
It is my hope that this pamphlet will act as a catalyst for further research, study and experimentation. I anticipate that abortifacient herbal practice will be reintegrated with midwifery practice. It is my sincere
wish that herbalists and midwives will once again provide women with the ancient methods of herbal
abortion in new, safe and effective ways»
