Black Cohosh for Hot Flashes?
This Black Cohosh for hot flashes page will discuss what is Black Cohosh root, what it can do to help you, as well as identify
some other facts you may not know about it. So, what is Black Cohosh? Black Cohosh is a very powerful herb
that has been used dating back at least one century by Native American Indians. It was widely used for its sedative effects as it contains
anemonim -- this depresses the central nervous system in a positive way. Consequently, it was and is used for treating headaches and even
tinnitus. Black Cohosh also has a compound that is insoluble in water and can lower blood pressure and
dilate the blood vessels.
It is also an antispasmodic that can ease cramping and muscle problems. It also has anti-inflammatory properties as well as it contains what
are called salicylates that research confirms can help the respiratory system. Its main claim to fame and why it's growing in popularity among
women is because of its anti-PMS and anti-menopause associated problems.
Yes, Black Cohosh for hot flashes is one of its capabilities and it does this by helping also night
sweats and menstrual cramps associated with menopause. It's believed (which belief has come about by anecdotal as well as research
information) that Black Cohosh root helps limit and decrease the levels of hormones that are produced during menopause. This luteninizing
hormone, as it's called, is believed to be the cause of hot flashes as well as the other menstrual and menopause symptoms.
Now you can see why it's gained in popularity in Europe and across the pond in America.
Black Cohosh is a very powerful herbal but it should be used with wisdom and judgment.

Black Cohosh Root Warnings & PrecautionsBlack Cohosh root is a powerful remedy when used by skilled herbal
practitioners. Unless administered by a skilled herbalist, it should be taken only as part of a supplement. Overdose, though rare, could results
in dizziness, a significantly slower pulse rate, nausea, and vomiting. Severe headaches as well are not uncommon. As always, pregnant and/or
nursing mothers should avoid taking Black Cohosh root. Those taking medications already for hot flashes or PMS should talk to a
open-minded doctor if seeking to take Black Cohosh for hot flashes.
Viewpoint
Herbal medicine has been demonized for almost a hundred years but after the lackluster results of Western medicine, many have turned to
alternatives seeking a better answer. This is not to say that Western medicine is not a blessing to mankind, it is. But, it also doesn't have all
the answers. Even after spending literally billions of dollars, many health problems still exist.
My view is this: Black cohosh root has been researched and used all over the world and has been used
by herbal medicine practitioners for decades with wonderful results. Unless used during labor by a midwife or naturopathic doctor, for
which it's very powerful, Black Cohosh for hot flashes, for treating menstrual cramps, and as an antispasmodic remedy for asthma and whooping
cough is what it's recommended for.
It could also be a safe alternative for Hormone Replacement Therapy -- which is why many women have an
interest in Black Cohosh as HRT has so many side effects.
