Natural cervical dilation and curettage after a miscarriage

Natural cervical dilation and curettage after a miscarriage: Professor Akim Bouterra's advice, complemented by what research says (pregnancy, stress, and anxiety), the precautions to know, and our resources to go further.

To perform a natural curettage after a miscarriage, you'll want to use plants like chamomile. Indeed, this very feminine plant has soothing properties, particularly for anxiety, depression, and shock, but will also be very beneficial in calming uterine cramps; it is recommended to drink three to four cups a day.

Raspberry leaf, for its part, provides good support to tone the uterine area as well as the perineal zone.

In addition, the use of sage will help restore hormonal balance, which is essential since this imbalance affects the nervous system and causes various problems for the woman.

In addition, it is recommended to massage the lower abdomen with essential oils, the best being lavender, since it will calm the nervous system, rebalance the emotions, and ease cramps. It should be combined with a carrier oil such as sweet almond, argan, or olive oil. Lavender can be replaced with chamomile if you don't have any.

In the past, myrrh oil combined with sesame oil was also used for massaging the lower abdomen.

What the science says: pregnancy, stress, and anxiety

Here is what published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for context—these studies address material causes, while healing belongs to Allah.

Pregnancy

Ginger is the go-to natural remedy for pregnancy nausea (J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med, 2022) (J Am Board Fam Med, 2014); dates eaten in late pregnancy ease labor (Explore, 2021); iron and folic acid levels are monitored (Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand, 2023). Precaution: many plants are not recommended during pregnancy (essential oils, hormonal plants, purgatives, fenugreek)—do not take any supplement without the advice of your midwife or doctor.

Stress and anxiety

Chronic stress raises blood pressure and inflammation, and contributes to the onset of many illnesses (Arthritis Res Ther, 2010); conversely, calming plants (CNS Drugs, 2013), physical activity, and good sleep reduce anxiety. The first remedy remains that of the heart—dhikr, prayer, trust in Allah—which the professor places above all others. Precaution: anxiety that takes over daily life, panic attacks, or persistent waswas warrant psychological support that stays faithful to your values.
