Black Cohosh

Actaea racemosa

Limited Evidence evidence: moderate

Scientific Summary

Black Cohosh is the dried rhizome of the plant Actaea racemosa (commonly called Cimicifuga). It is mainly used to ease menopausal symptoms—such as hot flashes, mood swings, and bone tenderness—and may provide modest relief for mild rheumatic pain. Because it contains plant steroid‑like compounds that affect estrogen receptors and has been linked to liver irritation, people with liver conditions, those taking hormone‑based medications, and pregnant or breastfeeding women should use it with caution.
