Botanical Name: Caulophylum thalictroides
Source: Trade
Traditional woman's herb - Blue cohosh was primarily considered a "woman's herb" helping to improve contractions during labor, rectify delayed or irregular menstruation, and alleviate heavy bleeding and pain during menstruation.
Other traditional uses - The root was taken by Native Americans as a contraceptive and was used by both sexes to treat genitourinary conditions.
Modern remedy - The European settlers in North America learned of blue cohosh's value from Native peoples, and the herb was included in the Pharmacopoeia of the United States until 1905. Current medicinal uses of blue cohosh are not radically different from its traditional uses. Blue cohosh is still considered an herb that is particularly suited to women and is chiefly employed as a uterine tonic, bringing relief from uterine and ovarian pain and helping to improve menstrual blood flow. Blue cohosh should not be taken during pregnancy since it is a uterine stimulant, but it is useful during labor.
Anti-inflammatory - Blue cohosh can reduce inflammation, and is sometimes used in treatments for arthritic and rheumatic condition.
