Actaea racemosa

Actaea racemosa, commonly known as black cohosh, is a perennial plant native to North America. It has tall, elegant stalks with clusters of white flowers that bloom in summer. Traditionally, black cohosh has been used to help manage menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. Some believe it may support hormonal balance, though scientific evidence varies. It is generally found in supplement form and should be used under proper guidance, especially for women with hormone-sensitive conditions or who are pregnant or nursing.
