Blue Cohosh Root
What is blue cohosh root? Blue cohosh is a flowering herb that is native to North America. It thrives in rich, moist soil and may be found growing in wooded regions along the east coast of both the United States and Canada. It features roots that are yellowish in color, little flowers that are yellowish green, and berries that are blue . The phrase "squaw root" was once extensively used to describe blue cohosh because of its history of being used by Native American women as a labor aid; however, due to the pejorative connotations associated with the term, it is no longer commonly used. Be careful not to mix blue cohosh with black cohosh, which is an entirely different herbal medicine that is also used for women's health concerns but is regarded as being far safer than blue cohosh. How do I use blue cohosh root? The recommended dosage of blue cohosh tincture is 1–2 ml, to be consumed no more than three times daily. Occasionally, the entire herb (300–1,000 milligrams per day) is utilized
