Physiologically, women who have reached the age of menopause generally have significant low levels of estrogen and higher levels of two the hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, the luteinizing hormone (LH) and the follicle � stimulating hormone (FSH), than women who are still on the reproductive age group. This decreased level of estrogen can cause a warm feeling all over the body and is commonly known as hot flashes. Hot flashes are one of the most uncomfortable symptoms that women of the menopausal age complain about. There are many relief measures available for this uneasy feeling but these are just palliative. One of the alternative medicines used for the management of hot flashes is the plant extracts of Black cohosh.

Black cohosh, also known as Actaea racemosa or Cimicifuga racemosa, is an herb widely used as a food supplement in many places all over the world most especially in the United States.

Black cohosh is a perennial plant of the buttercup family that originates in North America. Studies have shown that it can reduce the frequency and intensity of certain menopausal symptoms especially hot flashes.

Black cohosh is known to contain a compound known as fukinolic acid. This substance is discovered to have estrogenic activity in vitro. Another discovered active compounds including triterpene glycosides, actein and cimicifugoside, resins and cimicifugin, and caffeic and isoferulic acids also reveal relation to the estrogen levels of the body.

It was effectively used for general body weakness, gynecological disorders, kidney problems, malaria and rheumatism.

Gynecologically, this herbal medicine was also commonly used to induce menstruation and as relief of labor pains.

In present times, hundreds of scientific studies or more are conducted to confirm that the long-standing use of Black cohosh for menopausal symptoms has scientific validity and high effectivity. Initial researches also indicate that black cohosh can facilitate a reduced inflammation associated osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. In a review of scientific studies, researchers concluded that a combination of black cohosh with other approved herbal medicines such as willow bark, sarsaparilla, guaiacum, resin and poplar bark may be used as relief measures for the symptoms of osteoarthritis.

The common preparations of Black cohosh are made from the plant�s roots and rhizomes or the inner layer of the stem. There are black cohosh supplement in tablet and liquid form.
