Black cohosh has long been used as a natural medicine by Native Americans for a variety of complaints. Studies have shown that black cohosh lowers levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), a rise in which contributes to hot flashes.
This herb also contains phytoestrogens which can bind with hormone receptors in the breast and uterus to relieve other complaints of menopause, without the potential side effects of hormone replacement therapy. Black cohosh has been used to treat menstrual cramps and to ease contractions during and after childbirth as it increases blood flow to the uterus.
