Pennyroyal and Birth Control[edit]

I have had a more than most people have in the usual amount of education in the medical field - LPN School, EMT school, and Surgical Technology school with 15+ years experience in surgery of almost all surgical services, but most especially including two years in Labor & Delivery and High Risk Pregnancy (my personal favorite) of a major metropolitan hospital which is directly associated with one of the best medical schools in the nation; and of course involving a good deal of anatomy and physiology education associated with all of them.

I find myself confused about the reference to pennyroyal having its birth control effects by somehow "stimulating the production of female sex chromosomes thus reducing fertility." Stimulating the production of female chromosomes - really?

How and why would any plant have any effects on chromosome production, and even more so, why would that have any birth control effect? ShariD57 (talk) 15:55, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this was obviously nonsensical. I think perhaps it meant to say hormone production? At any rate I removed the mechanism of action because the pennyroyal article says it isn't known anyway. Mvolz (talk) 16:21, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
