What is Black Cohosh Root? Black Cohosh Root (Cimicifuga foetida) is a perennial plant native to North America. It’s also found growing wild in Europe, having been self-seeded from cultivated plants. The word “Cohosh” is a Native American word which means “rough” referring to the plant’s gnarled root structure. Throughout history, it has also been known as snakeroot, black bugbane, and rheumatism weed. It was given the name “bugbane” because the flowers have such a strong odor, and have been used to effectively repel insects.
