Historically, the root of the cimicifuga racemosa plant was used by North American Indians for addressing women’s disorders such as menstrual cramps and problems associated with menopause. It is also among the natural herbs that were used to treat throat infections and rheumatism as well as improve kidney function.

Cimicifuga racemosa contains compounds known as triterpene glycosides. These substances are thought to increase blood flow to the pelvic area and promote menstrual flow. It also contains actein, a compound though to have analgesic properties.

All organic herbs that we offer at Starwest Botanicals are useful; our bulk herbs are some of the purest you will find anywhere. Nonetheless, they should be treated with respect and not taken unadvisably; pregnant women should not take black cohosh root, and it should be avoided by cancer patients as well unless recommended by a physician or professional naturopath. We are happy to answer all your questions about any product we sell here at Starwest.

Starwest Botanicals also stocks black cohosh extract and black cohosh capsules.
