Also known as the papoose root, blue cohosh was traditionally valued by Native Americans for its incredible ability to stimulate uterine contractions. Useful during the last few weeks of pregnancy only, blue cohosh is said to speed labor as well as relieve both labor pains and menstrual cramps. The roots and rhizome are available as a tincture, tea, or capsule, but avoid the berries, as they are poisonous!
