Black Cohosh Root (Powder) 1oz

Black cohosh is a North American herb with a long history of use, particularly for issues that concern women. In fact, it was commonly prescribed by 19th century Eclectic physicians to address gynecological disorders as well as kidney ailments. While the dried chopped root is usually decocted to make teas and tinctures, the powdered root is more commonly encapsulated as a dietary supplement.

Safety: Due to the estrogen-like effect of Black Cohosh, it should be avoided by women who are pregnant or lactating. Likewise, women who are already on some form of estrogen therapy should consult a physician before using Black Cohosh. Large doses may cause abdominal pain, nausea, headache, dizziness and miscarriage.
