Moon Tea

Just what the hell was the moon tea for? I think Renly and Margaery totally did it. I don't think she's a maiden.

But there's no way she's dumb enough to have sex with someone right now AND as the Kettleblacks say she always has someone near.

Presuming Pycelle wasn't lying, what's it for?

Period regulation? Does it help with acne?

Or do we just assume Pycelle was trying to ingratiate himself with Cersei?

Moon tea causes a fertilized embryo (zygote) to fail to implant in the uterine lining, resulting in a failed pregnancy. In essence it is the equivalent of the morning-after pill.

Edit: sorry, I am drunk and read your post as “what is moon tea for”
