By giving us options.
When I first began researching women’s reproductive agency over two decades ago, I had no way of knowing I would one day be a mother of two daughters.
Daughters who may have to worry about whether they’ll be safe if they go to an emergency room.
Daughters who might be denied a say in how many children they have.
Daughters who could be criminally prosecuted for pursuing their own health and happiness.
This is the world that we in America, and millions of others around the globe, currently inhabit. But it’s not our only option.

From Root to Seed: Forgotten Herbs and Reproductive Health
A book about lost traditions and the power of knowledge.
Millions of people have long used medicinal plants to shape women’s fertility around the world, and many still do.
Yet these alternatives are little researched, lesser known, and largely feared in modern medicine.
This denial is a growing threat to the health and lives of women, as maternity care deserts spread like fungus across the United States and global access to reproductive health care continues to shrink.
From Root to Seed punches through the fear to explore how humanity’s rich tradition of herbal fertility management can change our lives. It taps into my deep cultural and investigative expertise, as an anthropologist, to tackle the urgent issue of women’s reproductive health.
The stories it shares aren’t just enlightening. They show how embracing medicinal plants can revolutionize health by increasing the accessibility, privacy, quality, safety and autonomy of care.
