Black Cohosh Root Tea

Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) is a tall stately plant 
native to the eastern forests of the United States and Canada. 
This herb was named Black because its dark roots, and Cohosh is 
Algonquian for "rough", another refrence to its roots.

Early 
American settlers found that Black Cohosh was widely used by 
American Indian Tribes. Specifically, the hard, knotty rootstock 
or rhizome, which was used for a variety of health purposes. The 
Indians used it externally on the skin and internally for the 
nutritional needs of women. This explains why it was also known 
as "Squaw Root".
