Summary
Black cohosh belongs to the family Cimicifuga racemosa. Black cohosh is used against the treatment of Menopause symptoms (including vasomotor); premenstrual syndrome; depression (mild); arthritis and migraine [1,2,3,4,5]. It is often used as an alternative to estrogen-based replacement therapies to treat hot flushes that frequently accompany the transition to menopause [6,7]. As a constituent to Avlimil (a dietary supplement advertised to ameliorate female sexual dysfunction), black cohosh is suggested to have estrogenic, anti-estrogenic, or androgenic potential for relieving menopausal symptoms. DMSO extract of Avlimil was found to increase cell proliferation and cytotoxicity in MCF-7 (in vitro) at low and high concentrations, respectively Ju, et al [9]
