•        As a natural birth control, one would take 60 drops 2 times a
day (while using other methods of birth control for the first 6 weeks).
It is recommended that you use the “rhythm method” or other forms
of birth control other than “the pill” or IUD. For “rhythm method” :
Take rectal temperature with a Basal Metabolism Rectal
Thermometer before getting out of bed each morning for 6 weeks.
Keep a graph of these temperature readings and notice when your
temperature drops 1 full degree – then the next day your temperature
should elevate 1 to 2 degrees and stay at that level for the rest of the
cycle. Three days before the drop in temperature, the day the
temperature elevates and also the next three days are considered
“fertile” days. It is recommended that no sexual activity occur during
these 7 days to insure that pregnancy does not occur. Refer to Willa
Shaffer’s book entitled, “Wild Yam: Birth Control Without Fear” by
Woodland books.

Caution:   - Do not use during pregnancy.
