I recently started getting hot flashes a month or so ago and whoa, they started getting bad and more frequent. I asked the health food store clerk what they mostly sold for this and I was recommended to use Black Cohosh to help with my hot flashes. I tried it and I'm telling you that I immediately felt a difference. I and no longer waking up with night sweats or having hot flashes on a regular basis. If I do get a hot flash, it's very mild.
It may be effective because it functions as a phytoestrogen, a plant-based compound that mimics the action of the hormone estrogen. Black cohosh has not been extensively studied so you may want to consult a healthcare provider of you have concerns.
