Reproductive Autonomy & Working with Herbs
Herbal Allies for Autonomous Family Planning Series #1

In an age of content restriction, censorship, changing legalities day to day across the country (the U.S. specifically), and even state-sanctioned Abortion Bounty Hunters, and since Etsy already so severely limits what we are allowed to post on our listings as far as herbs and their use [even ‘traditionally’ and with or without ‘studies’ to back up our ‘claims’, disclaimers and so on] I have decided to start sharing more in-depth information here on my Substack for Subscribers to be able to better understand these Herbal Allies and how we can work with them for our health and autonomy, particularly in regards to herbal products that I craft and sell and especially when it comes to Family Planning.
Autonomous Family Planning is my term for the conscious, autonomous choices we make in regards to when and how and where and with whom we will grow, or not grow, our families. Most people consider this in regards to ‘contraception’ and pregnancy release/terminations, but in the true essence of all my work, includes the full-spectrum of the childbearing continuum.
As in most things, I believe in turning to natural remedies and herbal allies before pharmaceuticals, but also hold space for relationship with technology and pharmaceuticals. It is not always best or safest for us to turn to herbs, but they can still be supportive guides and healing allies even when we need the faster, stronger interventive care that modern medicine provides us.
Though I have an entire training program regarding the use of herbal allies and Autonomous Family Planning particularly in regards to contraception and pregnancy release [a term I coined in 2013], I will share some information here that I think is imperative knowledge for everyone, especially anyone who is purchasing herbal products from myself or other medicine-crafters for their reproductive journey. [Please read all the way to the end which includes additional recommended reading and resources].
