There are various reasons why a woman would like to induce a natural miscarriage. Some of these may be that abortion is illegal in her country or that she comes from families that do not support the practice. In other cases, the woman simply wants to keep the entire procedure private and free from controversy. Whatever the case, it's better to know how to cause a miscarriage with safe natural methods. In fact, many of these methods have been passed down for generations.
Abortions are mostly conducted during the first trimester, and the earlier you do it, the better.

There is also the likelihood of developing side effects.
How to Cause a Miscarriage with Natural Remedies

Vitamin C has been used as an abortion inducer for decades, having been passed down from the feminist community in the 70's.Various publications and researches show that this nutrient may work.

Cohosh isn’t the tastiest herb, but it can be very useful in inducing a miscarriage. The herb works by fueling uterus contractions and helping your body to produce oxytocin which is responsible for inducing labor. The herbis quite potent, and skilled doctors have been known to use it in inducing labor. Nevertheless, cohosh can also be toxic when taken too much, and you might want to ensure that you use the herb within the recommended dose (40-80 mg per day).

6. Caffeine

The study found that women who consumed over 200 mg of caffeine daily had twice the risk of developing a miscarriage, compared to women who did not drink caffeine. The publication advice women not to take more than 200 mg of caffeine daily, which is about the same as one or two cups of coffee.
But excessive consumption of caffeinated drinks does not guarantee you that you will have a miscarriage. It is believed that women who drink over 500 mg of caffeine give birth to newborns that have quick heart beats and high breathing rates. These babies are generally awake for a longer time during the first days after birth. There are also various reports of women having a stillbirth due to excessive consumption of coffee.
