Traditional medicine
Traditional medicine is also used for childbirth and infertility. One study, which conducted interviews with Trinidadians over a four-year period from 1996-2000, found the use of the following plants for childbirth and infertility: "Mimosa pudica", "Ruta graveolens", "Abelmoschus moschatus", "Chamaesyce hirta", "Cola nitida", "Ambrosia cumanenesis", "Pilea microphylla", "Eryngium foetidum", "Aristolochia rugosa", "Aristolochia trilobata", "Coleus aromaticus", "Laportea aestuans" and "Vetiveria zizanioides".
