Blue Cohosh is a perfect example of an herb that should be used with knowledge and experience. This is not an herb to read about on someone\u2019s blog and decide to take it. Rather, if you feel like it could be helpful, you are advised to seek guidance from an experienced herbalist, midwife, or other knowledgeable healthcare professional.<\/p>

All therapeutic agents can be placed on a continuum from very safe to potentially toxic. Some herbs are more nutritive and nourishing. These have a wide therapeutic index and can be taken safely in larger amounts. They support the body through nutrition and work to normalize physical and mental systems over time. Wild Oats, Stinging Nettle and Mullein are a few examples.\u00a0<\/p>

Other herbs, like Blue Cohosh, have a much narrower therapeutic index. That means that it has a stronger action, with potentially dramatic effects. A very useful, yet potent botanical, Blue Cohosh should only be used as part of a formula and under the supervision of a qualified herbalist or other knowledgeable healthcare practitioner.\u00a0<\/p>

That said, this is a fabulous herb! Let\u2019s get on with its exploration.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
