Q: What is Black Cohosh?
A: Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) was first listed in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia in 1830 under the name black snakeroot, and was introduced to the medical community in 1844 when Dr. John King prescribed it for rheumatism and nervous disorders. It was a prominent herb in midwifery practice, and the Eclectic Physicians used it in the mid-nineteenth century for a number of Ob/Gyn problems including endometriosis, menstrual irregularities, sterility, uterine prolapse, after-birth pains, and to allay miscarriage and increase breast milk production.
Q: What does Black Cohosh do?
A: In addition to getting relief from hot flashes, night sweats, and other menopausal symptoms, women typically report they feel less irritable, have a clearer mind, calmer emotions, fewer mood swings, and better sleep.
Q: Who should use Black Cohosh?
A: Although the herb has been used traditionally for hundreds of years, the recent scientific research validates its effectiveness and proves its safety. Many women never have hot flashes, and for those who do, the annoyance lasts only a few years. BUT, because Black Cohosh exerts positive effects on the brain and bone-which have nothing to do with hot flashes-every menopausal woman can benefit from using it long term to help prevent osteoporosis and mental changes. Additionally, perimenopausal women can use it safely long term to prevent symptoms of PMS and future bone health and menopausal symptoms.
The keys to reaping the benefits of Black Cohosh are patience and consistency, since it may take three to four weeks for its effects to be fully realized. Consistently using a recommended daily dose of standardized European pharmaceutical-grade Black Cohosh is one of the safest and most effective ways to naturally deal with the physical and emotional stresses unique to perimenopausal and menopausal women. With the recent flurry of scientific research on Black Cohosh, it seems clear that it is the best choice for anyone looking for a natural and safe alternative to synthetic estrogen therapy.
Q: How does Black Cohosh work?
A: There have been many theories about how Black Cohosh works, but exactly how and what it is that makes it work are still being determined. Up until now, the theory has been that it contains phytoestrogens that bind to estrogen receptor sites, thus inducing an estrogen-like effect. We now know from recent studies that Black Cohosh is technically a "Selective Estrogen-Receptor Modulator" (SERM). This means it selectively mimics estrogen in the brain and bone, but not in uterus- or estrogen-dependant cancers. In one study it compared favorably with raloxifene (a SERM sold by prescription for osteoporosis), though with less potency. It's likely something in Black Cohosh is interacting with some part of the estrogen signaling pathway, but not the estrogen receptors. This gives the benefit of some of estrogen's good effects, without the negative effects. The bottom line seems to be that Black Cohosh does not stimulate estrogen receptors, which can promote cancer. This makes it a very safe alternative for osteoporosis and hot flashes.
Q: Are there any side effects associated with Black Cohosh?
A: Due to its hormonal effects, don't use Black Cohosh if you're pregnant or breast-feeding, or if you have an estrogen-sensitive cancer.
Q: Is Black Cohosh safe?
A: Black Cohosh has been used in Europe as an herbal pharmaceutical by more than 1.5 million women, and scientific research has recently demonstrated that Black Cohosh is a promising therapy for menopausal symptoms.
The bottom line seems to be that Black Cohosh does not stimulate estrogen receptors, which can promote cancer. This makes it a very safe alternative for osteoporosis and hot flashes.
