Black Cohosh Info And Products
Many Beneficial Effects!

What is it and where does it come from?

Black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) is a perennial fruit bearing plant native to North America. Black cohosh can grow to a stature of nine feet, and has been used in Native American medicine for thousands of years.

The name Cimicifuga racemosa is derived from Greek and means "to drive away bugs." This name is appropriate as black cohosh has an unpleasant smell and a bitter taste. It has been used in agriculture for pest control purposes.

The roots of the black cohosh plant are believed to contain the greatest amount of active ingredients, and for this reason the black cohosh found in dietary supplements is extracted from the roots of the plant.

Black cohosh is also known as Black Snake Root, Rattle Root, Squaw Root and Bugbane.

What does it do and what scientific studies give evidence to support this?
