Black Cohosh for hot flashes!

I was suffering from hot flashes and not sleeping well at night. My gynecologist suggested I try some alternative therapies before considering hormone replacement therapy. She told me to try Black Cohosh which is an herbal remedy. The root of this herb is used for medicinal purposes. Black cohosh was first used for medicinal purposes by Native American Indians, who introduced it to European colonists. Black cohosh became a popular treatment for women’s health issues in Europe in the mid-1950s.

Since that time, black cohosh has commonly been used to treat symptoms of menopause, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), painful menstruation, acne, weakened bones (osteoporosis), and for starting labor in pregnant women.

I have found it be extremely helpful. It was lessened the severity of my hot flashes and I'm sleeping better too. I take it three times a day, with food. You can buy it at a health food store or on line.

Good Luck! xo
