Blue Cohosh & Black Cohosh
Black Cohosh Flowers
Also known as black snakeroot, is a tall, white flowered plant that is common in the woodlands of the Lake Ontario region all the way down to Georgia. The word “cohosh” comes from the Algonquin term for “rough”, which is a reference to the plant’s gnarled root structure. The root or rhizome is the medicinal part of this herb.
Black cohosh has been a remedy in women’s health for centuries. It is used to treat issues with menstruation and menopause like menstrual cramps, sooth hot flashes, and alleviate post-menopausal depression. It’s a hormone balancer. It’s been used for snake bites, bee stings, skin issues, throat and lung problems, backaches, arthritis, and rheumatism.
