edited August 2011 in Third Trimester
Has anyone tried taking black cohosh supplements or drinking black cohosh tea to induce contractions?? What was the result?

  • I was told studies have shown coshosh to cause fetal strokes... don't do it!
  • There is black and blue cohosh, both are used for similar things, but one is extremely toxic. Should only be used under serious supervision of a dr. I did a lot if research on it but I didn't find much out sadly :/ I'm too afraid to try it cuz idk which is which. I've heard it works extremely well tho. I can't find anyone who has personally tried it tho
  • I heard bad things bout it I agree with @sissylala don't do it!!
  • So fat tho, blue cohosh, from what I have read up on is the non toxic one, but I'm not 100 % on that cuz there are a lot of different websites that say different things
  • My aunt did it she took Castor oil the followed by blue cohash and then balck then blue then black until she was in labor and she used the tea but I won't do any of that no way
  • @laine923..... How far along are you?

  • From my understanding, black cohosh is used to abort babies. I wouldn't try it if I were you. Check with an herbalist or your doctor.
  • Ok! Thanks for all the input ladies. I'll cross that off my list of things to look into.:-)
