Natural way to control fertility

JAKARTA (JP): An increasing demand for natural ways of dealing with health issues makes a book titled The Billings Method: Using The Body's Natural Signal of Fertility to Achieve or Avoid Pregnancy a hot item.

According to a release made available to the Post, the book, which was first published in 1980, has sold more than a million copies in 22 languages. The method, which is regarded as "knowledge that every woman ought to have", explains how a woman can observe her body's natural signals of fertility and use that knowledge to achieve or avoid pregnancy.

The book's authors, Melbourne doctors Evelyn and John Billings, discovered, among other, the method is actually ancient knowledge which was handed down from grandmother to granddaughter in some African tribes, and was also known to some Aboriginals.
