Is it safe to use herbal products to induce labor?

No. It is not a good idea to use herbal products to induce labor. Herbal products have not been standardized in dosage and potency for you to have an accurate sense of how much you should take. Secondly you risk triggering contractions that can be very strong - strong enough to cause the placenta to separate prematurely from the uterine wall causing a medical emergency for you and your baby.
