scripture:

you’re not really mad that I’m not having children. in fact, I would probably love to one day. you’re mad that I’m expressing autonomy of choice. you’re mad that I’m considering other options. you’re mad that I don’t view that as my ultimate potential. — Alice Minium

This is the tincture that people in my family, some of those I consider friends, and I have used for years in preventing unplanned conception. This is that natural birth control — forget that pill, haha! The decision to offer this tincture publicly came as a response to the same system that has long coerced women in getting hysterectomies and which is now making and passing decisions and laws which will impact the reproductive rights and justice of people for a time to come. We claim ourselves protected from such wickedness and declare autonomy and agency as we move in our divine earth vessels through this world. Formulated with 4 herbs which in multiple ways help to tone and maintain health in the reproductive system, all the while creating specific conditions unfavorable for implantation and fertilization, this potion is meant to provide the same kind of shielding that many seek when they take birth control pills. Smartweed is the guiding herb here. Smartweed contains several medicinal properties such as gallic acid, quercetin, and rutin which make it hard for implantation to happen. Soursop (Guanabana) leaves and Cat’s Claw (Uña de Gato) have been used in Kiskeya as both abortifacient and conception preventative. These two work by making the uterine lining unfavorable for pregnancy, while the content of Vitamin C in Soursop leaves is also said to contribute to its overall contraceptive qualities (it is known the high amounts of Vitamin C can both prevent implantation and induce menstruation). Medicine people in Kiskeya have also stated that the contraceptive effects of Cat’s Claw and Soursop leaves can impact the system for 30 days (when used in the way advised), so this formula is one that you really only need to use during the indicated time in order to ensure your intention. Sage leaves were added to this formula as a further protective shield and energetic boost. They also help to clear out hormonal and residual impacts from using birth control pills and other non-plantbased birth control methods. This tincture is meant to be taken in a very specific way to ensure that it is effective for preventing conception — the full details are indicated on the corresponding notecard and should be followed entirely to ensure that the tincture works for that specific purpose. If for some reason the outlined protocol for consumption is missed, you can still use this tincture right after sexual intercourse for a certain amount of days (also indicated on note card) to prevent pregnancy. The plants used here have many uses so they will fair as tonic, immune-boosting medicines if used regularly. Reclaim your body as sacred and see every decision and action you make and take about it to be in alignment with such holiness and wholeness — you deserve it.
