Rating (out of 5): 2

Wild carrot (Daucus carota), also known as Queen Anne’s Lace, has a long history of traditional use in various cultures to support the female reproductive system. Historical records, especially from European herbalism, suggest its seeds were used as a folk remedy for contraception and to promote menstruation (emmenagogue effect). For example, ancient Greek physicians, such as Hippocrates, noted the use of wild carrot seeds for their purported anti-fertility effects. Similarly, some Native American groups reportedly used wild carrot preparations for similar reasons. The most commonly cited traditional use is the consumption of wild carrot seeds shortly after intercourse as a post-coital contraceptive. However, scientific evidence supporting these uses is limited and largely anecdotal. Modern research has not conclusively validated the safety or efficacy of wild carrot for reproductive health or birth control. Preliminary studies have indicated some possible anti-fertility activity in animal models, but these results are inconsistent and have not led to clinical recommendations. Therefore, while wild carrot’s use for female reproductive health is well-documented in traditional herbalism, its effectiveness is not strongly supported by modern scientific research, and it should not be relied upon for contraception or other reproductive purposes.
