A small herb resembling a buttercup and native to the North American continent, black cohosh has a history of use for womens health issues dating back to Native Americans. Today it finds widespread usage for gynecological issues from menstruation to menopause.
It is particularly useful for menopausal symptoms due to its estrogenic effect on the body. Although the mechanism black cohosh uses is not fully understood, researchers have identified several key ingredients believed to be responsible for its effect on the female reproductive system. Black cohosh contains two compounds, actein and cimifugoside, which scientists believe play an active role as natural estrogen-like substances in the body.

Menopausal symptoms vary from woman to woman but among the most common are hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, irritability, anxiety, depression, headaches, loss of libido, weight gain and breast tenderness. Numerous studies over the past 40 years have helped establish the efficacy of black cohosh as a treatment for menopausal symptoms. A well-known 1982 study of over 600 women found 80% experienced relief from such symptoms as hot flashes, perspiration, irritability, heart palpitations and depression after taking 80 mg of black cohosh daily over six to eight weeks. Common emotional problems such as teariness and anxiety also responded favorably. A 1998 study by the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut concluded black cohosh was a safe alternative to estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) for women where ERT is contraindicated or declined. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology has recommended the use of black cohosh for menopausal symptoms such as sleep disturbances, mood swings and hot flashes.

Our liquid herbal extracts are made with organically grown and wild harvested plants of the highest quality.

Each fresh or recently dried herb is individually extracted through cold percolation or maceration using the purest de-ionized water. Due to the possible estrogenic effects of black cohosh, women with a personal or family history of breast cancer may wish to avoid using black cohosh until research further delineates the effect on breast tissue.
