Black Cohosh Root Benefits & Information

Black Cohosh, a member of the buttercup family, is a native American perennial.  It contains anti-inflammatory compounds called isoferulic acids and plant-based estrogens called phytoestrogens.  Native Americans used the black cohosh roots and rhizomes for a variety of health concerns including musculoskeletal pain, fever, cough, pneumonia, help with labor, and menstrual issues.  They also introduced the early American settlers to black cohosh, which they used as a female health tonic. 

Today black cohosh is a popular medicinal herb for menopausal symptoms.  Studies have found that it may help to relieve hot flashes, night sweats, menopausal mood issues, and promote restful sleep.  Black cohosh may also benefit bone health, promote joint health, support female reproductive health, and promote calmness.

Cut forms of black cohosh can be used to make a decoction, tincture, or tea.  Black cohosh powder can be used to make your own fresh filler-free capsules or compress.
