Research in rural northeast Thailand (15,16) suggests that the most common technique used by rural women is the consumption of herbal emmenagogues known generically as ya satri (women's medicine) or ya khap icuat (medicine to bring the blood down). I revised the section on emmenagogues (herbs to bring on suppressed menses) and added that my intention was to support life and not to encourage abortion. The second most important method was consumption of pills or drugs containing such irritants and emmenagogues as quinine, aloes, or ergot; the third, douching by syringe or enema bag with lysol, carbolic acid, turpentine or simple soap and water; and the fourth dilation of the cervix by inserting slippery elm or packing the vagina with cotton batten. |
