Pomegranates could speed up childbirth
Pomegranates could help speed up childbirth - and may reduce the number of emergency Caesarean sections performed as a result of long labour. Research carried out at the University of Liverpool shows that the seeds of the fruit contain high levels of a steroid, betasitosterol. When the researchers added this natural extract to uterus tissue in laboratory tests, they found it increased muscle activity. Every year, around a quarter of babies born in England - 155,000 - are delivered by Caesarean. More than half the Caesareans performed are emergency procedures due to problems during labour.
It’s thought that the increasing number of obese women may be partly to blame. The Liverpool team hope that the pomegranate- seed extract could help reduce the number of Caesareans. However they stressed there is no evidence that drinking pomegranate juice will have the same effect. Source
Interesting research thank you for sharing as a labor support worked I am always looking for new ways to help my clients, Pomology will definitely be a suggestion.
