Use of Black Cohosh

Black Cohosh is one of the numerous treatments available that provide effective, fast relief from menstrual problems and hot flashes. While there are many other names in the market, Black Cohosh is renowned because it is all natural. Moreover, the side effects that one may get from using Black Cohosh are minor. In fact, the only reported side effects reported from persons on treatment with Black Cohosh was some minor abdominal discomfort. Black Cohosh is known as a perennial plant that grown naturally in the Eastern parts of Northern America. There have been numerous studies to establish the viability of Black Cohosh as a reliable treatment for menopause and hot flash problems. One such study showed that 99% of the patients who were going through menopause exhibited great tolerance while on a preparation of Black Cohosh extract and estrogen therapy. While the effective range of Black Cohosh dosage does vary quite a bit, the overall result led researchers to conclude that it is indeed a first choice option in treatment of menopause problems. If one is considering taking the Black Cohosh extract as a treatment plan, it is highly recommended that they seek a doctor’s guidance on prescription if the extract is manufactured or see a herbalist if the extract is a herbal remedy. However, not all people can take Black Cohosh or its extract. Pregnant women, for instance are advised not to take Black Cohosh, as there is no known information on the effect of the remedy on pregnant women. Moreover, breastfeeding women are also advised not to take the remedy or its extract or the same reason. Furthermore, any dosageinvolving Black Cohosh should not exceed 6 months.
