Black Cohosh Root, Cut & Sifted, Organic 1 lb
A powerful, apothecary-grade herb made with organic black cohosh root (Actaea racemosa), carefully cut and sifted for whole-herb infusions, tinctures, and traditional remedy preparations. Its flavor and aroma are earthy, slightly bitter, and robust, carrying deep root undertones with a dry, grounding botanical finish—a classic profile of traditional tonic roots.
🌿 Traditional medicinal usage
Black cohosh root has a long history in traditional herbal medicine, especially for women’s wellness, including:
-
Native American herbal traditions: one of the most well-documented roots used by tribes such as the Cherokee and Iroquois, prepared in decoctions to support menstrual discomfort, hormonal transitions, childbirth recovery, pain relief, and emotional balance.
-
19th-century Western herbalism & Eclectic medicine: commonly used in tinctures and infusions to support nervous system calm, muscle relaxation, rheumatic pain, menstrual ease, and menopause support.
-
Traditional whole-root decoctions: used to support body temperature balance, cramp comfort, mood support, and restful sleep during times of hormonal fluctuation.
Historically, this root was brewed into teas, syrups, and extracts for cyclical balance and transition support, especially during menopause, seasonal changes, and periods of physical or emotional strain.
