Question

The laday at the health food store also sold me so natural herb called ( blue Cohosh and black cohosh ) she said that this would also help you go into labor. Do you know if this is true or not?

Answer 1

no, it doesn't.

Answer 2

It's not exactly a "scholar's" article, but according to a couple maternity sites, the most raspberry leaf tea has been found to cause is braxton hicks, and that was only in a small percentage.  as for the blue and black cohosh, i couldn't find anything.

here's the actual excerpt from the site:

Red raspberry leaf tea is a uterine tonic used by Native Americans for thousands of years. It tones your uterus by helping to "focus" your Braxton Hicks contractions. Think of its job as helping your uterus do more effective exercising while you are pregnant. It does not "cause" contractions and can be safely used throughout pregnancy. It is contraindicated for those having complications "just in case", however, by most doctors who do not understand its use. Many women safely use it from the moment they learn they are pregnant at six weeks until months after delivery. (It helps to tone the uterus after delivery as well, shrinking it back to size more quickly and reducing bleeding.)
