Menopausal Symptoms and hot flushes
Black cohosh is used mainly by women for alleviating hot flushes
and other menopausal symptoms. 
Black cohosh (known as both Actaea racemosa and Cimicifuga racemosa),
a member of the buttercup family, is a plant that is native
to North America. However, its popularity has grown to all parts of the world.
Black cohosh was used in North American Indian medicine for malaise,
gynecological disorders, kidney disorders, malaria, rheumatism,
and sore throat. It was also used for colds, cough, constipation,
hives, and backache and to induce lactation.
Womens herb
It has been used for centuries to help with conditions that affected
women's reproductive organs (including menstrual problems, inflammation
of the uterus or ovaries, infertility, threatened miscarriage, and
relief of labor pains).
Studies have shown that black cohosh is a root that has estrogenic
properties; it supplies estrogenic sterols which are the beginnings
for steroid hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testerone.
It is said to possess relaxant properties which may affect
uterine contractions so that heavy bleeding is decreased. This herb
may also contain substances that act as pain relievers and sedatives.
