Thank you, Sandy Greer, for bringing up Golden Seal - it sent me scampering to my favorite herbal medicine book to look it up (the name is so interesting!). Guess what? Golden Seal is an oxytocic! Besides Golden Seal as particularly effective oxytocics are Blue Cohosh and Squaw Vine; less effective are Rue and Beth Root (see what I mean about the names?). Rita I., are you there? Do you have any experience with herbs as oxytocics? Anyone else? Judy Knopf in Beer Sheva, Israel
