1. As you are in advanced stage of pregnancy, which means abortion is associated with serious complications, a few even life-threatening ones, therefore I do recommend to follow up with a GYN/OBG Doctor since she will be in a better position to establish the following facts before and after the procedure:

i. Was the product of conception evacuated completely?
ii. The age of the fetus [opinion of the second doctor.]
iii. Whether he/she is empowered to perform MTP.

2. Medical termination of pregnancy laws remains the same even for Ayurveda. Accordingly, the MTP [medical termination of pregnancy] Act defines the place, person and the conditions under which a pregnancy can be terminated. Under the act, abortion can be provided only by a registered medical practitioner who has the necessary qualification, training, and experience in performing MTP and only at a place which has the facilities, meeting standards specified in the Rules and Regulations of the MTP Act. It is illegal and unethical to try abortion through an internet search and web information.

PS. Without an opportunity to physically examine the patient and monitor the process of termination, it is very unsafe and unethical on my part to suggest you the measures. So please visit your healthcare provider for safe termination.
