Black Cohosh contains phytoprogesterone compounds, and herbalists prescribe it for hormone-related conditions including hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms, anxiety, polycystic ovary syndrome (not to be used for endometriosis), sleeping issues, and night sweats.
Black Cohosh is also a popular remedy among midwives to help prepare the cervix for labor. This herb should only be taken during the last few weeks of a full-term pregnancy, and only under the supervision of a qualified health care practitioner. It is an important ingredient in a traditional tonic used to help prepare for labor and child birth.
This herb is commonly used as a tincture, in low doses.
