Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga Racemosa ) is a large, flowering plant that grows in the forests east of the Mississippi. It is an effective treatment for PMS, menstrual cramps, and various menopause-related complaints, including hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Most studies have shown that black cohosh reduces symptoms much like low-dose estrogen does, while a few studies show it does not. This may be because different preparations were used in the studies, or that, like many treatments, some women may benefit from it more than others. In most studies, black cohosh was shown to decrease hot flashes, profuse sweating, mood swings, irritability, depressive mood, heart palpitations, sleep problems, headache, and vertigo related to perimenopause.
