Black Cohosh is a flowering plant native to North America, commonly used in herbal medicine. Its roots and rhizomes are often extracted to create supplements that are believed to help alleviate symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes and mood swings. Traditionally, Black Cohosh has also been used by Indigenous peoples for various ailments, including menstrual discomfort and inflammation. While some studies suggest it may be effective for menopausal symptoms, more research is needed to fully understand its benefits and potential side effects. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement.
