Apparently this is a thing.

There is no scientifcally backed evidence that says parsley can induce menstruation

Sorry, JY.

what the bejesus were Marie Clair thinking?

I've found that leaving my fanjo alone, save for the odd rinse has been a very effective way of having a healthy fanjo

wouldn't sell a lot of magazines though I guess

all the women I lived with a uni were obsessed with putting soap in their foof and consequently suffered with terrible thrush

Any research been done on rhubarb? Asking for a friend Wink

I read an appalling short story once about two women experimenting with a persimmon. It put me off persimmons for life. I do think though the only ill effects suffered in that story were by the persimmon.

Doobigetta · 18/01/2019 20:05

Were the two women experimenting together, or did they independently obtain similar results? Because one of those things is porn, and the other is science.

Jocasta2018 · 18/01/2019 20:07

Are we talking about flat leaf parsley or the other type? Presumably it has to be organic....

Loyaultemelie · 18/01/2019 20:10

Oh ffs I'm doing Risk Assessments for a parsley grower as we speak, I didn't expect to have to write anything about tell customers not to stick up their foof. Shock

FloralBunting · 18/01/2019 20:17

The other type of parsley than flat leaf parsley is best as a garnish, I find.

The next step along from vajazzles, now that we're all so plastic conscious? Organic vajazzling?

AspieAndProud · 18/01/2019 20:22

Wouldn’t parsley up the foof make your coffee enema taste funny?

jesus, no-one's advocating putting curly parsley up people's foofs - not even Marie Claire. They're not animals

Parsley oil (apiol) used to be used for abortions, and there have been cases of deaths by poisoning by eating too much.

FloralBunting · 18/01/2019 20:27

Curly parsley would definitely itch. I'm not sure it's any woman's aim to be wandering about scratching her nethers because of green herbage.

newtlover · 18/01/2019 20:38

any of these herbs would need to be taken orally of course

BigotedWoman · 18/01/2019 20:47

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
For once she was a true love of mine

Have her make me a vaginal pessary
(Made of) Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
If she asks, what the fuck - is this necessary?
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Knickknack & Doobigetta GrinGrinWinebest laughs.
Loyaltemelie depending how well you know your customer you definitely should add a final note to your risk assessment with a link. Chances are the customer won't have read all the way to the end and it will only be months or years down the line someone will notice it and be Shock

Pmsl at this thread but wondering if it is in fact true that the reason I had so much hassle buying (ie had to order on the internet) castor oil is because it has been used as an abortifacient? Or is that nonsense?

DubiousGoals · 18/01/2019 21:44

@mrsdewinter I think that's because castor oil contains ricin

DoNotTouchTheTree · 18/01/2019 22:18

Dr Sheila Newman reiterated the warning to avoid putting parsley in the vagina, telling us: “That is not something that is recommended by gynaecologists.

“There are only a few things that should go in your vagina and vegetables generally aren’t one of them.”

Have never heard or met anyone putting green stuff up their fanjos. Live yoghurt for thrush is as whacky as I've seen.

This is how the DillDo got its name.

It used to be DillDon't of course, in less adventurous thymes.

Barracker · 18/01/2019 22:40

Which was sage advice.
