What is black cohosh?

This herbal remedy comes from a flowering plant closely related to the buttercup and it’s native to certain regions of North America.

What is black cohosh used for?

As an herbal remedy, black cohosh is most well-known for being used:

• To treat the symptoms of menopause

It’s thought that black cohosh can act as a kind of phytoestrogen – a plant-based substance which works in a similar way to the hormone estrogen. Because of this, it’s often an ingredient in natural menopause treatments for women who have low levels of estrogen.  Black cohosh is also licensed to relief symptoms of the menopause including hot flushes, night sweats, irritability and restlessness, based on traditional use only.
