If during pregnancy there is spotting (i.e. if there is a drop or two of blood coming out of the uterus), it may be a precursor of abortion and steps must be taken expeditiously. The woman must be advised to take rest and desist from heavy physical or mental work. The following remedies are recommended for this condition.

Natural Cures for Abortions:

One fruit of preserved Amla, wrapped in Silver foil should be eaten, daily during the period of pregnancy. Or, a confection of Petals of White Rose in 10 to 20 grams doses every day should be taken. Five grams of a mixture of Sugar and powdered Kundru Gum taken with Starch (a left over of boiled rice) would also effectively deal with threatened abortion.

Unripe pods of Acacia and leafshoots of the Banyan tree should be taken in equal quantities and dried in the shade. The powder of the two, mixed with an equal amount of raw Sugar taken in six grams doese, with milk for a few days would deal with the danger of abortion.

Ten grams each of Amla, Lodh Path ani and Liquorice should be ground fine and mixed with an equal weight of raw Sugar. A six grams dose every morning and evening will stop the bleeding.
