• Traditionally used to help support the pain associated with menstrual cramps and joint pain, coughs, sore throat, congestion and much more.
Blue Cohosh is an herb derived from the rhizome and roots of a small North perennial. Blue Cohosh is also referred to by names such as Papoose Root or Squaw Root, reflecting on the use of this herb by Native women who brewed a bitter tea from Blue Cohosh to help support menstrual cramps and helps ease the pains associated with childbirth. Blue Cohosh tea can support uterine contractions that may speed delivery, and was widely used by natives and early settlers to help support common maladies such as sore throat, joint pain, anxiety, coughs, and colic.
Modern herbalists often recommend Blue Cohosh to support menstruation, and as uterine stimulant and antispasmodic. It can also be used as a potenial diuretic to help support excess fluids, as an expectorant to help support congestion, and as a diaphoretic to reduce toxins by inducing sweating. Traditional herbalists will often combine Blue Cohosh and Black Cohosh to effect a more balanced product for nerves, and to enhance the herbs antispasmodic effects. It is combined with other herbs to promote their effects in supporting coughs, nervous disorders, urinary tract ailments and joint pain. Researchers studying Blue Cohosh isolated an alkaloid, methylcytisine, which closely resembles nicotine in its ability to stimulate intestinal activity, raise respiration, and elevate blood pressure.

Blue Cohosh Caulophyllum thalictroides L. Berberidaceae, Barberry family.
Other Common Names: Squawroot, Papoose Root, Blue Ginseng, Yellow Ginseng, Blue Berry Cohosh, Blue Berry Root.
Blue Cohosh is found from New England south to the Appalachian regions of the Carolinas. It grows in moist, mountain glades under hardwoods.
This plant usually attains a height of three feet with one or two large, thrice divided, compound leaves with many round-lobed leaflets resembling meadow rue (Thalictrum dioicum) only proportionately larger. The flowers are tiny and inconspicuous, with greenish or maroon-tinged, petal-like sepals. The fruit is a blue berry the size of a large pea. The berry often hangs on into autumn, long after the leaves have withered away. The blue color of these berries gives the plant so many ofits common names.
As the name squawroot indicates, its application is for the benefit of women. It has been considered by Indians and white folk alike to be an excellent regulator, useful in cramps and menstrual difficulties of all kinds. It is used during pregnancy and childbirth as a uterine toner, to ease the pain of labor, and promote prompt delivery. A tea of Blue Cohosh was taken during the last three or four weeks of pregnancy.
The Blue Cohosh rhizome, due to its intense tangle of roots, is a little more difficult to unearth and wash than the average woodland root. When fresh, the rhizome and roots are a light tannish-yellow in color (hence the name yellow ginseng) and the next year's stem buds are tinged with lavender.
The acrid, bitter, and mildly toxic rhizome of the blue cohosh plant (also known as the papooseroot or squawroot) supports the liver with emmenagogue, antispasmodic, diuretic, and diaphoretic properties. Blue cohosh has demonstrated usefulness for menstrual irregularities, and genito-urinary disorders. The biochemical properties of the herb include alkaloids, a disinfectant saponin, glycosides, gum, starch, salts, phosphoric acid and a soluble resin.
Blue cohosh can be used to help support menstrual irregularities, amenorrhea and dysmenorrhea, and also to ease the pangs of childbirth.
While not related, both black and blue cohosh are often found growing in close proximity and both have similar emmenagogic, antispasmodic properties. Black cohosh is thought to have more estrogenic action while blue cohosh is more of an actual blood mover.
A gynecological formula for delayed or stopped menstruation is equal parts blue cohosh, black cohosh, angelica, cramp bark, wild ginger and half part ginger. Take as a tea or powder three times daily for at least three months, stopping only during the actual period itself.
While, as the name "papoose root" suggests, it can be used immediately before or during childbirth, usually as a liquid extract to ease childbirth, it should not be used during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy.
