Cimifuga - Witches beware - SBIR


“Folklore: Black cohosh (Cimifuga racemosa)root was used by Native Americans to treat snake bite and as a ceremonial herb to bring visions. The root was thought by some early American settlers to be the main ingredient in witches brew and any female caught with it in her possession was burned as a witch.”

We are trying to finish up the SBIR but it is difficult to stay within the size requirements and to make sure that everything is done correctly. I believe that the program is very worthwhile and hope that it gets a good score. This SBIR has nothing to do with the flower Cimifuga but I like the flower and though I would post a picture of one from our garden. It smells good too.
