These were the ones Dorothy and her crew trounced through on the way to the Emerald City, only to fall asleep.
Let's not forget the old Morning Glory seeds. You can't buy the hallucinogenic ones anymore; they've all been treated. And nutmeg itself is a hallucinogen, but I believe it'll make you vomit for a few hours before the fun starts.
Don't try these at home, folks.
I have a book about herbs that's specificially for women and warns against using Passionflower at any stage of prenancy. I believe Kava Kava is in there as a no no, too.
I also know the right combo of naturals for those with an unwanted pregnancy.
Natural is just another word for the drugs that aren't controlled by the pharmaceutical companies! But yes, folks, these are still drugs. (Maybe if they grew and dangled from the tree in capsules people would get the connection.)
I did drink raspberry tea several times a day in my third trimester. It was supposed to shorten labor, which, on average, is 24 hours for first births. My labor was under 12 hours, so I'm going to guess it worked (or that my genes were in my favor or both--but it didn't hurt).
follow the yellow-beardy road : )>
