cohosh - blue black?

[*Star*]

I was reading on the net about ways to induce labour naturally, and came across something called blue and black cohosh???

Does anyone know anything about it?

i googled this out of interest, plus.. bubs is kicking me right in the bladder so i won't be getting any sleep for a while!
and i found these websites about it...

It is known that these herbs can start contractions and should be used with caution during pregnancy as they may induce abortion.
Cohosh is popular among midwives because it is considered a "natural" way to induce labor. Those midwives who choose not to use cohosh refer to the lack of research or their own personal experience with the safety of it.

sounds like you have to be careful with it, though at full term if the worse that can happen is inducing labour, then i guess that's ok! hope that helps

I used it from my due date onwards and it sadly did nowt for me - went 16 days over due and was eventually induced!
