Specializes in Fertility Medicine

No, : No, herbal abortions do not work. If you are pregnant and require a pregnancy termination procedure, you should see a board certified ob/gyn as soon as possible. Early terminations can sometimes be accomplished with medicine rather than surgery.

Not safe: The substances which are toxic to the fetus are also toxic to the mother.
