Herbalism and midwifery

I have always been interested in how the midwives of old treated their clients with herbs and tinctures.

Does anyone know much about this? or any good books?

Susun Weed's book, wise woman herbal for the childbearing years. I use herbs for myself for adrenal support and also for pregnancy and thereafter.

I use herbs and tinctures at home alot too - you dont get a plaster or sudocreme in this house if you fall over, you go and cut an aloe vera leaf and be done

the kids love it. I want to know more about herbs, pregnancy and birth as it genuinely interests me

Thank for the ref LE.
