Sing Squirting Cucumber!
A Hippocratic treatise on women’s problems claimed that the squirting cucumber, or “wild cucumber”, was good as “an abortive pessary for the uterus” and furthermore, “there is nothing better.” Others who wrote of the plant’s abortive properties were ancient Roman physicians Dioscorides and Galen, and an author from the 5th century called Apuleius, who wrote that it was used “for an abortion.”
