Black Cohosh - Powder - Cimicifuga racemosa

Black Cohosh is a herbaceous perennial native to woodland regions of North America. Scientifically known as Actaea racemosa, it is recognized for its distinctive dark root and tall flowering stems. The plant produces clusters of small white flowers and is commonly associated with shaded, mature forest environments.

Black Cohosh grows naturally across parts of the United States and Canada, particularly in forested areas with rich, diverse vegetation. Mature plants can reach approximately three to six feet in height. The underground root and rhizome are traditionally harvested once the plant has matured and are the primary parts used in herbal preparations.

The botanical has a long history of traditional use among Indigenous communities of North America. Its common names include black snakeroot, bugbane, and rheumatism weed. The name "cohosh" is derived from an Algonquian term associated with the rough texture of the plant's rhizome, while "bugbane" refers to the plant's strong-smelling flowers.

Our Black Cohosh Powder is prepared from the root of Actaea racemosa and provides a convenient form for incorporating this traditional botanical into herbal preparations.
