Product Description
Blue Cohosh Root
Blue Cohosh Root shares its name with the black variety, but little else. Although both are members of the order
ranunculales, the blue variety - which goes by the scientific name of Caulophyllum thalictroides - is a member of the
beriberidaceae family along with various blueberry-like species such as bilberry and huckleberry ("black" cohosh is
actually part of the buttercup family).
Caulophyllum thalictroides powder can be taken in capsule form. Traditionally however, sliced Blue Cohosh Root is
commonly prepared as a tincture, meaning that it is soaked in grain alcohol in order to extract specific compounds.
Because of its abortifacient properties, pregnant women should avoid Blue Cohosh Root.
