Bodily Influences:
Black cohosh is powerful herbal support for women, clinically shown to reduce the hot flashes, mood swings and irritability associated with menopause. 1st Chinese Herbs offers you black cohosh extract standardized to the same marker compounds found clinically effective in scientific research.
Black Cohosh contains natural estrogen, (phytoestrogens)  the female hormone and is a specific for female problems.  Black Cohosh helps in hot flashes, mood swings and dryness, that is associated with menopause.  Native Americans and European herbalists have used this plant for centuries for menopausal symptoms, and labor pains - inducing labor,  but also used for Rheumatism, Spasms, Insect Bites, Diarrhea, Coughs, and Insomnia.

We have available the standardized form which is  2.5% triterpene glycosides including 27-deoxyactein, one of the key constituents of the herb.

How Does it Work?
(LH) released by the body in a futile attempt to restore the declining estrogen levels that occur as women enter premenopause. Scientists have not yet determined exactly how black cohosh affects the hormonal system. Research suggests black cohosh may reduce LH secretion, thereby lessening hot flashes.

 Lydia E. Pinkham made this herb famous which she called a vegetable herbal compound, that contained black cohosh and was used by women early in the 20th century to ease "all those painful complaints and weaknesses so common to our best female population." The plant was also considered helpful by the so-called Eclectic physicians who practiced herbal medicine until the early 20th century. More recently, the German Commission E approved its use for painful menstruation and menopausal symptoms.
