COMMENT:

Don't you all get excited here. The German Commission E said no such
thing. This is just the kind of lies and nonsense you get on the web.

There are no herbs that do anything like what RU 486 does. There are
many herbs that women have killed themselves with while *trying* to
induce abortion. "Batchelor's Button" is a common name for feverfew,
cornflower, and several other herbs. None are abortifacients.
