Dried Blue Cohosh Root
Blue Cohosh, also known as
Pappoose Root, Squawroot and Blueberry Root is native to North America and Canada.
A tea or tincture made from dried
Blue Cohosh root is frequently used in herbal medicine as a uterine tonic, and as an aid in difficult menstruation. Native Americans used
Blue Cohosh to induce labor. Due to it's ability to induce labor,
Blue Cohosh should not be used in pregnancy prior to the ninth month and then only under a medical practitioners supervision.
Blue Cohosh is also to be useful in the treatment of rheumatism, dropsy, epilepsy, hysteria and uterine inflammation.
As with any herb or supplement, a physician should be consulted prior to use.
