There isn’t much folklore related to Black Cohosh as it’s been primarily known as a remedy plant. It’s been called rattlesnake root due to its ability to assist with snake bites. The real claim to fame comes to treatment of feminine concerns ranging from PMS to menopause.

Black Cohosh is native to areas of North Florida and grows well there! It likes to grow in woodland areas, in moist soil, under partial shade. The plant is considered at-risk and should be harvested sustainably. It is easier to propagate new plants from cutting than from seed.
