        When looking up a plant, the PictureThis app called it Red Baneberry but in the other names section it had Black Cohosh. Is this correct? It also says that this plant is poisonous and care should be taken when handled. Can someone please help me sort this out? :confused:

          Baneberry (Actaea arguta) and black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) are cousins. Michael Moore talks about it in his book Medicinal Plants of the Mountain West. He has used it without issues. I’ve only used black cohosh.

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
