- I've got a question on a side issue here:
- My herbals say that pennyroyal can trigger miscarriage in pregnant women.
- I figure that anything with that kind of effect on the (presumably?) hormonal
- system is probably not something that adult women should use casually, unless
- of course the hormonal effect is the desired one. I prefer to err on the side
- of caution, but am I overdoing it here?
-
- Just wondering how many people have used it without problems ...
