Pregnancy Info HOME

I haven't heard any negative side effects but I have heard it's more effective to mix black with blue. Hope this helps! And my sources are a midwifery site. I will try finding the link for you if you wish.

I would like that if you could post the link. Thanks!

I took black cohosh and it caused my heart to skip beats and made me feel lightheaded.

Certainly! The link to the site is :

and I hope you have wonderful luck with this. Keep us posted!

Ehh take out that - at the end of html though. :)

Blue and black cohosh
These herbs are used often to induce labor. They may be particularly effective if you are having weak or irregular contractions. Blue cohosh is believed to make uterine contractions stronger, while black cohosh may regulate the contractions. Together, they work to make contractions more effective. Unfortunately, no studies have determined that these natural treatments are safe, or whether all versions of the herb available for purchase are of equal potency. Be sure to discuss any herbal treatment with your practitioner before attempting it, to see if it is a good idea in your situation.

Yay! Cora used the cut and paste button on a website. At least that keeps everyone from being confused on the little dashes that mysteriously popped up when I tried giving you the hyperlink. Thanks Cora!
