Hi,
I am a 50 year old woman whose menstrual cycle is either really late or I'm pregnant (which I doubt, but it is possible). I started taking 1 tsp of blue cohosh and 1 tsp of black cohosh every 4 hours.
Is there a time frame in which I can expect something to start happening? Can I do anything else?
Thanks!
Hello,
The combination of blue cohosh and black cohosh is often quite effective in ending unwanted pregnancies, so that sounds like a fine approach. Time frames can vary as everyone's body is different and there is certainly no guarantee that the herbs will actually work. Most women seem to feel something going on within a day but it is a process that usually takes a bit of time.
Please be very careful, listen to your body carefully as these are powerful herbs. Some guidelines from Susun:
"Blue and Black Cohosh should be taken as a tincture, in a cup of warm water. At a dosage of 20 drops of each tincture every 4 hours/5 days. Can be toxic, in excess and can easily over tax the liver and kidneys. Continue for 1 full day after bleeding starts, to insure complete expulsion of all fetal material."
Make sure that you have something like shepard's purse tincture on hand to help control bleeding if need be. It is always best, if possible, not to go through this alone. I am including a link to a website that goes further into herbal abortions and also has a number of stories from women who have used these herbs before. This can help give you more indications of what you can expect. http://www.sisterzeus.com/
Afterwards it is always best to take extra special care of yourself, eating excellent foods, nourishing herbal infusions, and rest as much as possible. Let us know if you need any further assistance.
blessings,
