Exploring and determining traditional medicines used for bleeding control and termination of pregnancy among Suri people, South West Ethiopia, 2022: mixed method exploratory sequential study design
Suri women use various plants, alcohol, and drugs to interrupt pregnancy as well as blood and shawily trees to manage bleeding during (heavy menstrual, abortion, and postpartum periods). To help people use safe methods and avoid those that have a negative impact on mothers, it is imperative to investigate more about the value of these traditional methods. Further botanical study is recommended to scientifically evaluate the traditional medicine obtained from different plants.
