 North American Eclectic doctors and native women learned used blue cohosh to induce labor and ease labor pains. The herb was taken as tea, for a week or two preceding confinement, rendering delivery rapid and comparatively painless. They also used the root as a remedy for rheumatism, dropsy, uterine inflammation, and colic. These uses have been proven reliable by all methods of practice since.(Millspaugh, Charles F.,57[16]) |
