pessaries

Body: 

Hi

i found this intruiging web site of a book from the 1800's or so called "diseases of women and children". It describes making a pessary from a " pad of cotton wool with chickweek ointment to keep organs in place and to strengthen and tone the tissues,,, (p. 27) and also interesting astringent and tonifying washes

U all probably know my feeling's on the danger of taking herbs internally without supervision (i.e in drinks and pill's - in short dangerous lol) so that part of this book i'm not keen on...

But for me i wouldn't be keen on plastic/'r latex and those harmfull lubricants PLUS having to see the gyne any more than is abso-lutely neccesary for their fittings etc. *shudder!

You google it under herbal legacy sarah webb diseases of women and children.

I did actually have the link but going back and forth lost YET another draft of a post here :) when it mysteriously expires! and so amn't risking it again. Sorry

I would be so interested to hear all your opinions on this
