A plant native to the eastern part of North America, black cohosh was used by Native Americans to help relieve female symptoms commonly associated with hormonal fluctuations. This prized herb was the main constituent in Lydia Pinkham’s well-known “Vegetable Compound,” a popular concoction drunk by women in the 1800’s to relieve hormonerelated symptoms and more specifically, for “all those painful complaints and weaknesses so common to our best female population.” Women now use black cohosh to support healthy hormone balance during menopause and reduce the number of hot flashes they endure.
As a woman ages, she will naturally approach menopause and the cessation of ovarian function which is a time when black cohosh can become increasingly helpful to women. Menopause is not a disease. It is a natural transition in a woman’s life, with black cohosh, a natural product, helping to ease the effects of this transition. Some women experience negative symptoms when they are going through menopause.
For example, women can experience:
Hot flashes
Headaches
Depression
Lack of concentration
Anxiety
Vertigo
Joint pain
Hair loss
Sleep disturbances
Clearly, women need options to support this natural transition in their lives and to reduce the number of hot flashes they experience. Black cohosh offers scientifically supported assistance to women looking for a way to alleviate symptoms normally associated with menopause.
Likewise, black cohosh supports healthy menstruation and eases the effects of natural hormone fluctuations associated with the menstrual cycle.
