Interesting new research is out about a group of herbs that may be useful for male contraceptives. The links below outline the names and traditional uses of these herbs. The first, Sarcostemma acidum, was used for wound healing, communicable respiratory disease, anti-parasitic and antibiotic. New studies are confirming these properties.

Here’s an African plant, Leptadenia hastata, that not only has similar healing properties as an anti-diabetic, but it also acts as an abortifacient and anti-fertility….https://uses.plantnet-project.org/en/Leptadenia_hastata_(PROTA)

The Tinospora cordifolia plant (heart leaved moon seed) is of great interest to researchers across the globe. It is noted for its reported medicinal properties. These include anti-diabetic, anti-periodic, anti-spasmodic, and anti-inflammatory effects. It also has anti-arthritic, anti-oxidant, anti-allergic, and anti-stress activities. Further, it shows anti-leprotic, anti-malarial, hepatoprotective, immunomodulatory, and anti-neoplastic activities. Here’s info from webmd about the herb!! https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-1157/tinospora-cordifolia New research shows it’s anti-male fertility uses.

Spearmint and peppermint teas can affect fertility. They change reproductive hormones such as LH, FSH, and testosterone levels in humans. Maybe a new and interesting treatment for male pattern hair growth in women and a future libido moderator….!? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17310494

Another asian plant, Indian Squirrel Tail, shows promising help for neurological disease like epilepsy and also decreases male sperm growth. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29777902

My take away. . .If you’re TTC, males, AVOID PEPPERMINT and the above herbs:)
