Most modern women and men share the belief that the birth of a child must be planned, choosing the most convenient time for this. Although there are currently many hormonal drugs and barrier contraceptives available to prevent pregnancy, some people do not want to use them for one reason or another. At the same time, it is also necessary to prevent the onset of unwanted pregnancy. In these cases, many try to use folk remedies for pregnancy, which were widely used by our ancestors.
Folk remedies against pregnancy, as a rule, do not guarantee 100% effectiveness of the methods, however, in cases where for some reason it is not possible to use a pharmacy to purchase modern contraception, preventing pregnancy with folk remedies is still better than no protection at all. Especially if you try to combine several methods at once, the likelihood that pregnancy will not occur increases sharply.
Of course, a lot depends on the characteristics of the body, and those folk remedies that helped one woman or couple will not necessarily be effective for another. Only your own experience and common sense will help you here. We remind you once again that no folk remedy can give a 100% result; at best, your chances of protection increase to 60-70%. So it’s up to you to decide whether to use the methods of official or traditional medicine.
Preventing pregnancy with folk remedies
Method No. 2. Douching with acidified water |
||
 |
The method is based on the property of sperm to lose activity or even die in an acidic environment. Add two tablespoons of table vinegar or half a teaspoon of citric acid to a liter of boiled water and douche the vagina immediately after intercourse. It is not recommended to use this method constantly, since the acid can damage the mucous membrane of internal organs or disrupt the vaginal microflora. Sometimes it is advised to insert a slice of lemon or a tampon soaked in lemon juice into the vagina before starting sexual intercourse. |

Surprisingly, despite the abundance of contraceptives offered by pharmacies, long-standing folk remedies do not cease to be of interest to women. It is difficult to give an absolute explanation for this, given that the percentage of their effectiveness is very low.
The effectiveness of various folk methods of contraception
It is worth taking a closer look at the existing folk methods of contraception, and also find out how not to get pregnant without protection.
Douching with acidic solutions protects against pregnancy by only 40-50%
Thanks to an acidic environment has a paralyzing or even destructive effect on sperm , there is such a method of douching. Many women in the last century actively used it. The main ingredients are a liter of water, boiled of course, and 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar (not essence!) or half a teaspoon of citric acid. The vagina is washed with the solution in the first minutes (or even seconds) after sexual intercourse. After all, the nimble “tadpoles” move very quickly towards their cherished goal - the egg. An acidic solution can indeed stop moving sperm, but The effectiveness of this method does not exceed 40-50% . Don't forget about the harmfulness of regular contact of the delicate vaginal mucosa and its microflora with such solutions .
A useless method of contraception is douching with potassium permanganate.
The explanation for this method is most likely this - if a weak manganese solution is a disinfectant for wounds or intestines, that is, it kills various microbes and bacteria, then, therefore, it has the same effect on male sperm cells. The only truth is that a strong jet can really wash sperm out, but nothing does not guarantee that individual active sperm are not hidden in the folds cervix until “better times” arrive. The percentage of effectiveness here is approximately equal to that with the douching method acidic solutions.
Lemon or soap is a sure way to cause erosion
Another method, which is based on the incompatibility of seminal fluid cells with an acidic environment. The meaning is inserting a lemon drop or a tampon soaked in lemon juice into the vagina before sexual intercourse. It was even practiced to irrigate the vagina with lemon juice. Along with a piece of lemon, some also recommend a piece of laundry soap. When using these methods, just in case you should be prepared to receive burns of the mucous membrane with aggressive lemon or inflammation of the vagina up to cervical erosion.
Washing with urine does not prevent pregnancy
As strange as it may sound, there is an opinion that if you just wash yourself with your own urine at the end of sexual intercourse, a woman will not be in danger of becoming pregnant. The rationale behind this ridiculous method is unclear. . It is clear that in this case there is nothing to talk about birth control. By the way .
Lovemaking positions are not a means of preventing pregnancy
Do you like to change positions? So it is argued that if ejaculation occurs at a time when the woman is on top or in a standing position, then there is no need to worry about pregnancy. From the point of view of physics and the laws of gravity, this makes some sense. However, no one told the sperm about physics. Moreover, the sperm is ejected with such force that it turns out instantly near the cervix , even the woman will be standing, even sitting, even lying down. The verdict is that if a healthy man and woman use this method of contraception, pregnancy will occur in the next cycles, that is efficiency is equal to or tends to zero .
Exposure to high temperatures - a Japanese method of protection
If you believe history, this method comes from Japan. Its meaning is a man taking a hot bath for 1 hour before lovemaking , as a result of which sperm die, unable to withstand the elevated temperature for a long time. To be fair, we can note the feasibility of this method. Indeed, even after an ordinary acute respiratory infection, accompanied by an increase in body temperature, the sperm counts of ordinary men are far from normal. In this case, it takes at least 3 months to recover. In its turn, a woman can take a hot bath after intercourse which will prevent pregnancy. This is exactly what is believed by many ancient peoples. To enhance the effect, it is recommended to pour liter of boiling water 1 tbsp. mustard powder and pour the resulting mixture into the bath.
Daily lovemaking will not prevent pregnancy
It is a very common opinion that if a man starts working out several times a day , then after a few days there will be no active sperm left in his sperm suitable for fertilizing the egg. Maybe there is some truth here. It’s not for nothing that couples who want to conceive a child are even advised not to exercise 2-3 weeks before ovulation, so that the seminal fluid becomes concentrated. But even so, This method can hardly be called a means of protection. Although it is quite suitable for men with poor sperm quality indicators. Need to know that even in diluted semen there is always some amount of sperm present .

Every year, at least 16.7 million unwanted pregnancies occur worldwide. 15 million of them (that is, almost 90%!) could be prevented if women used modern contraceptive methods correctly. Surprisingly, inIn the 21st century, millions of people ignore them or use them incorrectly. As a recent study showed, women are afraid of side effects, have different prejudices, or simply lack information. MedNews figured out how the most popular contraceptive methods work (and whether they work).
"Barrier" contraception
Barrier contraception includes male and female condoms, a vaginal diaphragm and a uterine cap. All these devices physically block the sperm from entering the uterus. The sperm cannot meet the egg and fertilization does not occur.
Condoms
Male condom everyone knows, but female much less popular. This is a small pouch, usually made of polyurethane, which is inserted into the vagina and secured there thanks to elastic rings. The advantage of both types of condoms is that they not only prevent unwanted pregnancy, but also protect against sexually transmitted diseases.
The effectiveness of condoms is relatively high: according to WHO, when used correctly, male condoms prevent unwanted pregnancy in 98% of cases, but female condoms only in 90%. In addition, you need to take into account that the condom may break.
Caps
Uterine cap And vaginal diaphragm - These are latex caps of different shapes that are installed on the cervix. They no longer protect partners from gonorrhea or syphilis, but they do prevent sperm from entering the uterus. Their main disadvantages are the difficulty of use (not every woman will be able to put on the cap on her own) and allergies, which can arise due to the tight and prolonged contact of the mucous membrane with latex.
"Natural" contraception
“Natural” are methods of birth control that do not require mechanical or medicinal intervention.
Coitus interruptus
One of the most popular and at the same time least reliable “natural” methods. When using it, the partner removes the penis from the woman's vagina a few moments before ejaculation. The unreliability of this method is determined by two factors. Firstly, a man may not have time to remove the penis in time (here everything depends on his ability to self-control). Secondly, during friction, a small amount of pre-seminal fluid is released, which may contain some sperm - and pathogenic agents. The effectiveness of the method, according to WHO, ranges from 73 to 96%, depending on correct use.
Calendar method
Another popular and not always effective method. A woman tracks the days of her menstrual cycle that are favorable and unfavorable for conception. Fertilization of the egg can occur only within 48 hours after ovulation, and the lifespan of the sperm in the cervix is up to a week, but often less. Therefore, several days before ovulation (sperm can remain in the woman’s genitals and wait for a mature egg) and a couple of days after ovulation are considered dangerous for conception. Adherents of the calendar method argue that it is during this period that a woman should abstain from sexual intercourse if she does not want to get pregnant. The disadvantage of the method is that it is not always possible to calculate exactly when ovulation will occur, especially in women with irregular menstrual cycles.
Temperature method
This method allows you to clarify the moment of ovulation. It is not for the lazy: every day, immediately after waking up, you need to measure your basal temperature (by inserting a thermometer into the anus). Before ovulation, the basal temperature drops slightly, and immediately after ovulation it rises by 0.3-0.5 degrees and remains at this level until the end of the cycle. By tracking your temperature daily, you can quite accurately determine when ovulation occurs, and accordingly, abstain from sexual intercourse on days favorable for conception.
Cervical method
Another method that helps determine the onset of ovulation is the cervical method, or Billings method. This Australian doctor noticed that shortly before ovulation, the mucus released from the vagina becomes more viscous. This way you can track “dangerous” days. However, due to fluctuations in hormones, mucus can become viscous even in the absence of ovulation, so the method is inaccurate.
Lactational amenorrhea method
The point is simple: in the first months of breastfeeding, ovulation does not occur, so you don’t have to use protection. But there is a condition: a woman must breastfeed her baby very actively (at least every three hours during the day and every six hours at night), otherwise the production of the hormones prolactin and oxytocin decreases, and their “protective” effect disappears. However, frequent feeding is also not a 100% guarantee.
Spiral
The intrauterine device is a common and fairly simple method of contraception. This device, usually made of copper or silver with plastic, is inserted into the uterus by a doctor for several years. Copper or silver have a detrimental effect on sperm, and the spiral itself, if fertilization does occur, prevents the egg from attaching to the wall of the uterus (thus, the embryo does not have the opportunity to develop). The method is convenient because it requires almost no effort on the part of the woman, but it has its drawbacks - for example, it increases the risk of developing infections and inflammation.
Hormonal contraception
There are a huge variety of hormonal contraceptives, and they work in different ways. In general, they can be divided into two types: those containing the hormones estrogens (or rather, their analogues) and those that do not contain them.
COCs
The most common method of hormonal contraception. When used correctly, it is considered one of the most reliable. The tablets contain two types of hormones: estrogens and progestins. They suppress ovulation and pregnancy becomes impossible.
It’s a paradox, but it is precisely these means that most fears are associated with. Women are afraid of side effects, for example, blood thickening: estrogens promote blood clots and increase the risk of thrombosis. In fact, this danger is much higher, say, with smoking or even pregnancy. So if a woman does not have serious contraindications (history of thrombosis and among family members, severely elevated blood pressure, etc.), the use of COCs is considered safe. However, women are much more afraid of being overweight than thrombosis: the belief that taking pills can make you gain weight is one of the most persistent. In reality, this has not been the case for a long time: modern oral contraceptives contain minimal doses of hormones, which, although they may slightly aggravate the feeling of hunger (and even then not for everyone), do not in themselves increase weight gain.
Vaginal ring
This is another method of hormonal contraception using estrogen. It is similar in composition and principle of action to COCs, but is radically different in the method of application. The flexible ring is inserted directly into the vagina, where it releases hormones in the right doses that help suppress ovulation. The advantage over COCs is that the ring has almost no effect on the liver; the disadvantages are the relative inconvenience of use: it can fall out of the vagina or interfere with the woman.
Hormonal patch
The hormonal patch also contains estrogens, but is glued to the skin and delivers hormones to the body through the blood.
Mini-pill
Another group of hormonal contraceptives, they do not contain estrogens, only progestogens. Due to this, they do not have side effects associated with estrogen and are considered safer, although less effective. This group includes the so-called mini-pills: these are tablets containing a minimum dose of the hormone.
Their principle of action differs from estrogen-containing contraceptives: they do not prevent ovulation, but cause thickening of the cervical mucus (mucus in the cervix), which prevents sperm from entering the uterus itself. In addition, progestogens prevent the lining of the uterus, or endometrium, from swelling (without the use of hormones, this naturally occurs in the second half of the menstrual cycle). Because of this, the embryo cannot attach to the wall of the uterus and continue its development.
Subcutaneous implants
Particularly desperate women may decide to sew a contraceptive hormonal implant under their skin, which also does not contain estrogen. It is installed for several years and releases the required amount of the progestogen hormone into the body in doses. Like the mini-pill, the implant increases the viscosity of the cervical mucus and prevents the endometrium from swelling.
Hormonal intrauterine device
Its operating principle is mixed. It immobilizes sperm and mechanically prevents the embryo from attaching to the uterine wall, just like a regular spiral. In addition, just like implants, it releases a minimal amount of the progestogen hormone every day, which prevents the growth of the endometrium and thus prevents the embryo from implanting.
Chemical contraception
Vaginal suppositories, creams, foams, sponges and tablets that have a spermicidal effect, that is, they destroy sperm. Typically, all these remedies should be used 10-15 minutes before sexual intercourse. Their advantage is that they also protect against sexually transmitted diseases - but not all and not completely. The disadvantage is that the efficiency is much lower than that of other methods. Therefore, it is recommended to use them in combination with other means.
Emergency (aka “morning”) contraception
If unprotected sexual intercourse has already occurred, but the woman does not plan to have a child, then all is not lost: conception can still be prevented for some time. There are a variety of methods for this - from folk to hormonal.
Traditional methods
A slice of lemon, an aspirin tablet, laundry soap and a solution of potassium permanganate - this is not a complete list of remedies that traditional medicine is ready to offer to unwary lovers. It is understood that citric acid, laundry soap components, potassium permanganate and acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) acidify the environment, and this kills sperm.
Doctors categorically do not recommend using folk remedies for two reasons. The first is their low efficiency: sperm can penetrate the cervical canal within a few seconds after ejaculation, and before that it is unlikely to have time to insert a lemon into the vagina. And the second is side effects: aggressive acid or improperly diluted potassium permanganate can “burn” the mucous membrane and disrupt the vaginal microflora.
Hormonal pills
There is also a more reliable method of post-coital (that is, used after sexual intercourse) contraception. Hormonal pills have been developed especially for this case. Different drugs are based on different substances, but their mechanism of action is similar: they suppress ovulation, and if conception has already occurred, they prevent the fertilized egg from attaching to the wall of the uterus. The pills usually need to be taken in the first few days after unprotected intercourse (the sooner the better), but with each day of delay their effectiveness will decrease.
It is widely believed that the use of such drugs is extremely harmful, but WHO has repeatedly emphasized that they are safe. This, of course, does not mean that such products should be used regularly: they are simply not intended for this.
Emergency installation of a spiral
The same copper or silver spiral, which was already mentioned above, can be installed urgently - within five days after unprotected sexual intercourse. The principle of its action is the same: copper or silver has a detrimental effect on sperm and eggs, and the spiral itself prevents the attachment of the embryo to the wall of the uterus. After emergency installation, the IUD can be left as a permanent means of contraception.
Karina Nazaretyan
Traditional contraceptives are used by women all over the world. The effect of such contraception is based on the presence of phytoestrogens in some plants. Also, certain products change the characteristics of vaginal secretions. But a woman must understand that such methods of protection do not always have a positive effect. If folk methods are abused, irreparable changes can occur. For this reason, before starting to use any products, you should consult your gynecologist.
An illiterate approach to the issue of contraception may lead to health problems.
Folk remedies with a contraceptive effect are used in various ways. Substances are manufactured for internal and local use. For internal use, decoctions are made from herbs containing a natural analogue of female estrogen.
In a normal unprotected cycle, three stages are observed. Each phase depends on the activity of a specific hormonal substance. In the first phase, estrogen is the main one. The production of a follicle-stimulating substance is also observed. In the middle of the cycle, the production of luteinizing hormone is observed. It is responsible for releasing the egg from the follicle. After ovulation, estrogen and FSH give way to progesterone. Progesterone is responsible for proper conception and further vital activity of the embryo.
For contraception, it is necessary to prevent the production of follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormone. These substances belong to the group of gonadotropins. They are produced by the pituitary gland. To eliminate the production of gonadotropins, it is necessary to increase estrogen levels. In this case, the cycle becomes fruitless.
It is on this effect that the use of folk remedies for contraception is based. When using such decoctions, an increase in your own estrogen is observed. Ovarian activity slows down. Ovulation disappears. Without ovulation, pregnancy cannot occur.
Folk remedies for topical use have a spermicidal effect. This group of substances is used in the form of solutions for vaginal irrigation. Douching liquids contain acids. They contribute to changes in the characteristics of the vaginal microflora. When fluid is introduced into the vagina, acidity increases.
Male seminal fluid has a salty environment. In this composition, sperm are able to actively move. After entering the female reproductive system, seminal fluid changes its characteristics. In an acidic environment, the outer membrane of male germ cells is damaged. Because of this, sperm stop moving and die.
The use of special douching contributes to the death of spermatozoa
Certain douching solutions affect the activity of the cervical canal. The walls of the cervix are penetrated by a large number of secretory glands. They produce special mucus that performs a protective function. Also, the quality of the secretion depends on the phase of the menstrual cycle. To maintain the viability of sperm in the uterus, mucus production increases. The secretion becomes liquid and transparent.
When using folk remedies for protection, the secretory substance changes its qualities. It becomes thick and viscous. In such a vaginal substance, sperm are unable to move quickly. After some time, the male reproductive cells die.
Solutions for internal use
To develop a contraceptive effect, it is necessary to prepare a solution. It is taken from the first day after the end of menstruation. For this purpose, the following compositions are offered:
- coriander infusion;
- decoction of rowan blossom;
- caraway and ficus seed remedy;
- concentrated decoction of viburnum bark.
To make the first infusion, you need to purchase fresh coriander seeds. A few grams of seeds need to be ground in a coffee grinder to a powder state. The powder is poured with hot water. The mixture is kept on low heat for 10 minutes. The resulting liquid is placed in a dark glass container. The container is stored in a dark place. The resulting infusion is decanted into a clean container through a filter. The liquid is taken half a glass after each meal. Before the start of your next menstruation, you need to stop using the infusion.
The second folk contraceptive, a decoction of rowan blossom, is widespread among women of all ages. The color is collected at a certain time. Only fresh flowers have a contraceptive effect. The inflorescences must be thoroughly ground in a mortar. The resulting mushy mixture must be poured with hot water. The infusion is poured into an iron container and placed in a water bath. After an hour, the liquid is removed from the heat and passed through sterile gauze folded in four layers. The decoction is consumed one glass a few minutes before meals.
Caraway seeds should be consumed with caution
A mixture of cumin and ficus seeds has a strong contraceptive effect. Seeds can be purchased at any grocery store. They must be passed through a coffee grinder. The resulting powder is poured with hot liquid. Drink the mixture after menstruation. For several weeks the woman is unable to conceive. Before using this solution, it is recommended to visit a specialist. If there are pathologies in the activity of the ovaries, the mixture is prohibited for use, as it can cause secondary infertility.
A decoction made from viburnum bark is used as folk contraception. Ready-made raw materials can be purchased at any pharmacy store. The bark is filled with a small amount of water. The product is boiled until half of the original composition is obtained. The finished liquid is also passed through a clean rag. The concentrate is taken in the morning before meals.
All of these decoctions have a detrimental effect on the process of producing your own follicle-stimulating hormone. Under the influence of these agents, a follicle does not appear on the ovary. In this case, ovulation disappears. Before starting self-protection, you need to visit a gynecologist to determine the condition of the reproductive system.
Solutions for protection after unprotected intercourse
Such folk remedies are used as douching after unprotected sexual intercourse. For this purpose, the following douching liquids are used:
- decoction of elm bark;
- St. John's wort;
- boron composition;
- douching with lemon juice;
- vinegar essence.
Elm tree bark has a contraceptive effect
A decoction of elm bark can be made from ready-made raw materials. The package of bark is filled with a glass of hot liquid. The resulting composition must be boiled. Boiling is carried out for several minutes. The composition must be cooled thoroughly. The liquid is filtered through cheesecloth. Add a glass of cold water to the concentrated product. The prepared solution is inserted into the vagina after unprotected sexual intercourse.
For douching, you can use a folk remedy made from St. John's wort herb. The product is prepared from fresh leaves of the plant. A small amount of fresh leaves is placed in a two-liter saucepan. After boiling, the composition should be cooked for no more than five minutes. After cooling, the contraceptive should be placed in a clean container. It is used after every unprotected sex.
More aggressive douching after contact is also suggested. In this case, the folk remedy is obtained by dissolving medicinal boric acid in a large amount of boiled water. For douching, only sterile medical powder is used. A small volume of solution is administered vaginally. It is not recommended to use this product frequently. It can change the quality of the microflora of the organ.
Many girls use a solution made from lemon juice. Lemon juice increases the acidity of the vaginal microflora. The product also promotes the immediate death of sperm. When sperm come into contact with juice, the cell membrane is destroyed. The male reproductive cell stops moving and dies after a while.
The contraceptive effect of vinegar essence has been known since ancient times. For douching, only natural apple or pear vinegar is used. A tablespoon of essence is diluted with a liter of boiled water. When using the product, it is necessary to take into account the presence of an individual allergic reaction.
Contraception in unexpected ways
In order to obtain a contraceptive effect, unexpected folk remedies are also used. The following products are suggested:
- carbonated drink;
- lemon fruit;
- date tree fruit;
- laundry soap;
- ash solution.
Before using any folk method against conception, it is necessary to consult a doctor.
In many countries, the popular carbonated drink Coca-Cola is used as a folk contraceptive. Before starting douching, the bottle must be shaken thoroughly. The gases used to prepare the drink have a detrimental effect on sperm. This method is questioned, since the composition of the drink is completely chemical.
Some women insert a slice of lemon fruit into the vagina during sexual intercourse. It is believed that fetal acid can kill all male reproductive cells that enter the uterus. There is also an increase in vaginal acidity. But this technique is not recommended for many reasons.
Another popular folk contraceptive method is tamponing with gruel from the fruits of the date tree. The porridge is made by grinding fresh dates through a fine grater. The resulting porridge is placed in a sterile bandage. A tampon is inserted vaginally before unprotected sex.
Many Russian women believe that laundry soap also has a contraceptive effect. A thin candle is cut out of a piece of soap and placed in the vagina before intercourse. But this method can cause negative changes in mucous tissue.
Also in ancient times, women used wood ash for douching. She dissolved in water. The liquid was filtered using clean gauze. It was believed that the ash caused the cervical mucus to thicken. But this technique is not always effective.
Side effects of the proposed contraception
Medicinal contraceptives have various contraindications and adverse reactions. Traditional methods can also cause negative changes. The following undesirable consequences of home contraception are considered:
- cessation of ovarian function;
- development of bacterial vaginitis;
- vaginal dryness;
- disruption of the menstrual cycle;
- allergic individual reactions;
- low contraceptive response.
With prolonged use of herbal decoctions, the ovaries cease to function normally. Gradually the organ refuses to work. In this case, primary infertility or multifollicular ovaries is diagnosed. The problem can only be eliminated medically.
Douching is also not a safe method of contraception. With constant contact of liquid with microflora, a change in bacterial composition may occur. The place of beneficial microorganisms is taken by pathogenic bacteria. This leads to the development of bacterial vaginitis. In some cases, more beneficial microbes die. This complication is accompanied by dryness during sexual intercourse.
The use of decoctions is also fraught with complications. They can have a negative impact on the menstrual cycle. With prolonged intake of phytoestrogens, the duration of the progesterone phase may change. This leads to the disappearance of ovulation and prolonged absence of pregnancy.
Before using these methods, you should visit a doctor. Only he can advise effective folk contraceptives.
The birth of a child is a wonderful and joyful event. But there are situations when pregnancy is not desirable. It may be that there are already children and mom and dad no longer want to have children, or it may be that pregnancy is not desirable due to health problems. Whatever it is, it’s better to know than to have an abortion later.
Nowadays, there are many modern drugs and means to avoid pregnancy, but there are cases in which such drugs and means are not recommended or even prohibited. In this case, we can remember the experience of our ancestors and find out how to protect yourself from pregnancy folk ways.
How to protect yourself from pregnancy using traditional methods?
- Interruption of sexual intercourse before ejaculation. This is a well-known and simple folk remedy that is most often used in pairs. Before ejaculation occurs, the man must withdraw from the woman's vagina. The good method is that it can be applied under any circumstances, but this method also has its own errors. A small amount of seminal fluid may enter the vagina earlier along with lubricant. This may well be enough to get pregnant.
- Washing with your own urine. After sexual intercourse, immediately wash yourself with your own urine. It seems that this method cannot protect against pregnancy, but did you know that the alkaline environment of urine can significantly reduce sperm activity? So there are benefits from this method too.
- Decoction of yellow water lily. To prevent pregnancy, it is recommended to douche with a decoction of yellow water lily. This decoction is easy to prepare! Take dried water lily root and grind it. Pour 50 grams of the prepared raw material into one liter of boiling water and boil for fifteen minutes, then strain the broth and leave to cool to a temperature at which you can douche. Such a potion, of course, must be prepared before sexual intercourse, so that at the end of it the decoction is ready for use.
- Hot baths. After sexual intercourse, a woman should take a hot sitz bath with mustard. To do this, brew one tablespoon of mustard powder with a liter of boiling water. A hot bath for a man before sexual intercourse is a Japanese invention. Within an hour before sexual intercourse, a man should take a bath with a water temperature of approximately 40 degrees. How does this prevent pregnancy? The answer is simple: sperm die at elevated temperatures or become less active.
- Ginger root. Prepare a decoction of ginger root. To do this, grind the ginger root and pour a glass of boiling water over a teaspoon of the raw material. It is recommended to take one glass of ginger broth three times a day.
- Marjoram. It is recommended to drink marjoram tea. Drink marjoram tea three times a day during your period every day. For one glass of boiling water you need to add one teaspoon of marjoram.
- Douching. Mix two tablespoons of table vinegar in one liter of boiled water. The vagina is douched with this solution after sexual intercourse. Instead of vinegar, you can use half a teaspoon of citric acid. I would like to warn you that this method cannot be used constantly or very often, so as not to damage the mucous membrane of the internal organs and not to disturb the microflora of the vagina.
- Lemon. Before sexual intercourse, insert a slice of lemon into the vagina. You can also use a tampon that needs to be soaked in lemon juice. This method is also not recommended to be used too often, for the reasons stated above.
- Potassium permanganate. Dissolve a teaspoon of a two percent solution of potassium permanganate in one liter of boiled water. Using a prepared solution of potassium permanganate, using an Esmarch mug, wash the seminal fluid from the vagina.
- A pineapple. This Malaysian remedy is little known in our area. It's very simple! Every day you need to drink one glass of juice extracted from unripe pineapple three times.
- Shepherd's purse. using dried shepherd's purse? To do this, you need to grind the dried herb into powder. Take one tablespoon of this powder every day. A break should only be taken during menstruation. There is no need to take the powder these days.
- Considering the issue, how to protect yourself from pregnancy folk remedies, one cannot help but think of laundry soap. This method is very old, simple and accessible to everyone. Before starting sexual intercourse, you need to insert a piece of laundry soap into the vagina.
When applying traditional methods of birth control in practice, do not forget to remove from the vagina what you used to avoid conception.
you know using folk remedies, but at the same time I should draw your attention to the fact that folk remedies cannot give you a hundred percent guarantee. But pharmaceutical products also do not always guarantee complete safety. The choice is yours! Whatever means of protection you choose, first of all, think about how these means will not harm your health.
I wish you good health!
