I appreciate this article. I had my second child at home in 1981, and I remember my lay-midwife talking about blue cohash. I don't know if there is any value there, but my biggest objection to using botanicals is the lack of quality control and dosage. I never did swallow the whole "all natural" koolaid at the time, I just didn't want to go back to the hospital to birth my child. It was awful back then. Anyway, thanks for the validation. In spite of the home birth, my kids were vaccinated and yes, drank cows milk after weaning, lol!
