Is there any study conducted regarding ginger lily juice?
The academic literature reflects a limited at best selection of entries...I was in fact only able to locate one full, older study that deals specifically with contraceptive properties.





"Initiatives Popul. 1986;8(2):22, 31-35. Herbal contraceptives: exploring indigenous methods of family planning.Quijano Nv Jr.


PIP: The study, "Herbal Contraceptives: An Alternative Strategy in Family Planning", was conducted by the Research Institute for Mindanao Culture, Xavier University, for the Population Center Foundation. The study has 2 phases: 1) phase 1 gathered information from the regional population offices on the areas where herbs are grown, and 2) phase 2 sought to obtain data on the preparation and perceived effectiveness of herbal contraceptives. Results indicate that, in most of the Philippine regions, herbal contraceptives had long been used by women in the rural areas, specifically those in the indigenous groups. The 1984 study found that many rural women in the research area


---%26gt; preferred the Kamias drink and other herbal concoctions to the pill and other modern contraceptive methods. %26lt;-- Among college-educated women, it was found that acceptance of contraceptives was influenced more by their religion rather than by their education. Most of the respondents said they used herbal contraceptives because they were easily obtained and were inexpensive. Generally, they considered herbal contraceptives much safer than other contraceptives methods. Some women who had been using modern family planning methods are now using herbs in delaying pregnancy; this shift is mainly due to the side effects of the modern methods. There is room for a compromise between folk practices and modern science, as in the case of herbal contraceptives. "





Sorry I couldn't be more help. You may want to try some of the alternative therapy websites; they might have anecdotal studies and data to share.
