Black Cohosh Root
As a cardiac stimulant, Black Cohosh root slightly depresses the heart rate while it increases the force of the pulse and equalizes circulation. It is a valuable emmenagogue in pelvic disturbances and uterine troubles as it effectively contracts the uterus and increases the menstrual flow. Black Cohosh has strong effect on the muscular system, and is used for various forms of rheumatism, arthritis, and neuralgia. It is a viable expectorant for acute chronic pulmonary and bronchial affections. Black Cohosh exerts a tonic influence over the mucous and serous tissues, stimulating the secretions of the liver, kidneys and lymph. It also aids digestion. In parturition, Black Cohosh is helpful in initiating uterine contractions, checking hemorrhage, and allaying the nervousness and afterpains of delivery. Available in capsules or extract.
