Black cohosh: Black cohosh is a popular alternative for menopausal hormonal symptoms, such as hot flashes, migraine headache, mood changes, sleep changes, sweating, fast heartbeat, and vaginal dryness. The exact action of black cohosh is unclear. Although it has been suggested that black cohosh may help relieve joint pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, further research is needed.

Use cautiously if allergic to members of the Ranunculaceae family, such as buttercups or crowfoot. Avoid with hormone conditions (e.g. breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, or endometriosis). Avoid if allergic to aspirin products, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen), or blood-thinners (such as warfarin). Avoid with a history of blood clots, stroke, seizures, or liver disease. Stop use two weeks before and immediately after surgery/dental/diagnostic procedures with bleeding risks.
