Blue Cohosh Root
Summary:
Blue cohosh is an indigenous North American flowering herb that grows in rich moist soil in wooded areas along the east coast of the U.S. and Canada. It has small yellow-green flowers, blue-hued berries and yellowish roots. Blue cohosh was commonly referred to as “squaw root” because of its use by Native American women as an aid for childbirth, however this term is not generally used anymore because of its derogatory nature. Don’t confuse blue cohosh with black cohosh, an unrelated herbal remedy also used for women-specific health conditions and considered much safer than blue cohosh.(Dr. Weil)
