Black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) has been used traditionaly as a relaxant, sedative, and antispasmodic. Menopause causes the signals between the ovaries and pituitary gland to diminish, slowing down estrogen production and increasing luteinizing hormone (LH) secretions. Hot flashes can result from these hormonal changes. A German clinical study demonstrated that an extract of black cohosh decreases LH secretions in menopausal women – but produces no homronal changes. The studies, therefore, support the usefulness of black cohosh for symptomatic relief from hot flashes, but not as a substitute for hormone replacement therapy.

Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': The root of this plant is much used in America in many disorders, and is supposed to be an antidote against poison and the bite of the rattlesnake. In small doses, the root tincture is useful in children's diarrhea. The infusion and decoction have been given with success in rheumatism.

Usage: 1 tsp. 2 to 3 times a day depending on condition.
