Description
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.
