Blue Cohosh has a long history of use in traditional North American herbal practices, particularly in women’s herbal traditions and preparations associated with the female reproductive system. The root is traditionally prepared as an herbal tea, infusion, topical preparation, or botanical extract.
Because Blue Cohosh is considered a potent botanical, it should be used conservatively and with appropriate guidance.
