Collection: Black Cohosh Products

Black cohosh is a member of the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae. It is an herbaceous perennial plant that can grow up to 6 ft. tall, producing large compound leaves from underground rhizomes. Its broad basal leaves are up to 3 ft long, forming repeated sets of three leaflets with coarsely serrated margins. It flowers in late spring and early summer. It bears tall tapering racemes of white flowers that are white without petals or sepals and grow in tight clusters. They have a distinctly sweet, fetid smell that attracts flies, gnats, and beetles and also repels insects.

Black cohosh (Actaea racemosa, Cimicifuga racemosa) is native to North America. It grows in a variety of woodland habitats, and is often found in small woodland openings from southern Ontario, Canada to central Georgia, U.S. Cimicifuga foetida is native to Europe and Siberia.

Black cohosh has been used traditionally by Native Americans and the Chinese for centuries. Early European settlers were taught how to use the herb by the Native Americans and began to use it. During the late 19th century American Eclectic medicine used Black Cohosh in many of their remedies until the tradition fell out of favour and this herb nearly disappeared into obscurity.
