Neem as a "Plan B" to terminate suspected pregnancy

by Mel

I have heard of women using neem capsules in acute doses if they are a few days late on their cycle or suspect they might be pregnant. Is this true and are there any studies showing its affectiveness?

Neem is Not a Reliable Contraceptive
by: Anonymous

I am sure it's true that there are women trying it. There are also women trying to prevent a pregnancy by ingesting large doses of neem. As you can read on that page, trying it doesn't mean it's working.

No, there aren't any studies in people. The studies that exist are referenced on my page about neem and pregnancy.

All we know that a large enough amount of neem oil administered orally can terminate pregnancy in rats.

We aren't rats and ingesting large amounts of neem oil is not safe. Don't do it.
(The neem capsules you mentioned contain either dried neem leaf or neem leaf extract, not neem oil.)

What?

That is plain harmful and stupid, I might add. Go to your gynecologist; perform a pregnancy test; get an abortion; give up the baby for adoption; raise the baby; do anything, but don't risk your body to toxic effects by ingesting heavy doses of neem. I am sure it will be effective in killing you as well as the baby inside you. Use neem for what it's intended and approved -- skin care/dental care!

Human Neem Studies

You can use neem OIL capsules like antibiotics! I've been "experimenting" with Neem extract, bark and oil for years. I just realized a capsule of neem oil "terminates" a UTI in hours... Sad they wasted money on rat studies. I know a child died from ingesting 5ml neem oil.
