Black Cohosh
Black Cohosh supports normal healthy female hormonal balance in the reproductive glands and organs. It is used as support for menopausal changes and to help during pre-menstrual period of the female monthly cycle.
Benefits & Uses
The fleshy root of Black Cohosh is very dark brown to black in colour, which may explain it’s common name, ‘Black Snake Root’. Black Cohosh is part of the buttercup family of plants. The root and rhizome are the parts used in herbal supplements.
Female Hormonal Balance
The primary female hormones, oestrogen and progesterone act as chemical messengers that govern the activities and function of the female reproductive system. Black Cohosh supports normal and healthy oestrogen balance in the female body.
Beneficial Plant Chemicals
Research has shown that Black cohosh contains a multitude of phytonutrients or beneficial plant chemicals. It’s believed that the synergistic combination of these plant compounds, rather than a single phytonutrient provides support for female hormonal balance.
