PLEASE!!!!

Pennyroyal is a drug, not just a tea.  If you should
choose to drink it for the purposes you suggest, allergy-test
first (drink a weak cup and wait) and take it one teaspoon
dried herb per cup, two to three cups per day for NO MORE
than five days.  If you don't have your period after
five days, STOP TAKING IT ANYWAY.

Improperly taken, pennyroyal can kill.  Do not EVER 
substitute the oil for the herb.  The oil should never be
taken internally.

Controlling our own fertility with tools we probably
have around the house is an important part of reclaiming
our history as women, but prevention is still the better
part of valor.  Treat herbs as you would any other
medicine, and cultivate the frendship of your local herbologist.
