Black Cohosh Root is reported to be a highly effective herb for treating menopausal hot flashes. Black Cohosh stimulates estrogen-like activity in the body, and should be taken in fairly high doses twice a day for best results. Women undergoing estrogen replacement therapy should consult their doctors prior to supplementing with Black Cohosh.
The active constituents in black cohosh, that are reported to provide its medicinal value, include triterpene glycosides (e.g. acetin and deoxyactein) and isoflavones. Additional ingredients that may lend to its medicinal value include aromatic acids, resins, fatty acids, tannins, starches and sugars.

As a woman reaches menopause estrogen production decreases while luteinizing hormone (LH) secretions increase. The result often is intense hot flashed. Studies suggest that black cohosh has some estrogen regulating ability and may also decrease LH secretions whereby dampening the severity of hot flashes associated with menopause.
