Acclimate to the most well known symptom in menopause.
- Although the studies are mixed, black cohosh is one of the most commonly used non hormonal treatments for hot flashes and night sweats. For women who want to avoid the use of hormone therapy, this botanical can be a wonderful support for those hot spells.
- Hot flashes can occur during the day or night, making them night sweats! Women who respond well to black cohosh report improvements in both the daytime and nighttime hot flashes. A 2010 review by researchers found that black cohosh provided a 26% reduction in hot flashes and night sweats (also known as vasomotor symptoms).
Jessica Gingrich, Gennev Coach and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, says:
For those clients with hot flashes and night sweats that just won't quit, we often add in a black cohosh supplement. This herbal addition helps take the edge off those temperature changes, allowing women to feel like hot flashes are more manageable and night sweats are less disruptive.

Black cohosh’s results can be mixed
As with every supplement, results tend to be a mixed bag. What works brilliantly for one woman is less effective for another. Black cohosh has been considered effective for treating menopausal symptoms in the US for over fifty years, but clinical results vary. Scientists don’t know exactly which compounds in black cohosh treat menopause symptoms; it could be triterpene glycosides, resins, or aromatic acid derivatives. Because of this inconsistency, different products vary, and studies find varying results as to the root’s effectiveness. Read more.
