Menopause: Relieve menopause symptoms with black cohosh
Women have traditionally used the herbal treatment black cohosh to address menopausal symptoms, according to a study that appears in the February 2006 issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
In the UK, black cohosh is considered an alternative treatment. But in Germany (where this study was conducted) the use of herbal supplements is far more common. So when a team of researchers from several different research institutions in Berlin designed a study to examine the effects of herbals on menopausal symptoms and associated depression, they chose two traditional treatments that are considered mainstream in their country: black cohosh and St. Johns wort.
Volunteers rated black cohosh as good or very good
The Berlin team recruited 301 women who had been experiencing a combination of menopausal symptoms and pronounced psychological component (read: depression) for at least six months.
For eight weeks, half the women received two tablets per day of the combined herbs while half received placebo tablets. For an additional eight weeks the dosage was cut to just one tablet per day. Each tablet contained one milligram of triterpene glycosides (the active ingredients of black cohosh), and 0.25 milligrams of hypericine (the active ingredient of St. Johns wort).
