Black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa), known to some as snakeroot, can be used internally or externally for bites of all kinds—especially snake bites, which is how this herb got its nickname in the first place. Used also as a female tonic, black cohosh will help relax the nerves and bring on menstruation. However, this is a very strong herb and should be used in moderation; too much can make you nauseous.
