Black Cohosh was used by Native Americans to treat symptoms of malaise, kidney problems, malaria and and sore throat. It was also used for basic colds, cough, constipation and to induce lactation.
In the 1800s, Black Cohosh was used as a home remedy for fevers, and to bring on menstruation. Alternative medicine practitioners prescribed Black Cohosh for rheumatism, respiratory conditions, and for various problems affecting women’s reproductive organs (menstrual problems, inflammation of the uterus or ovaries, infertility and threatened miscarriage, relief of labor pains.)
Black Cohosh has more recently been used to treat hot flashes during menopause, vaginal dryness, and night sweats. Black cohosh has also been used for gynecological disorders, menstrual irregularities, premenstrual syndrome, and to induce labor.
