Black Cohosh Loose Root Tea - Certified Organic

Hand-Selected by Qualified Herbal Naturopath | 100% Certified Organic | Fast Australia-Wide Shipping

Native to the rich woodland soils of North America, Black Cohosh (Actaea racemosa, formerly Cimicifuga racemosa) holds a long and distinguished history in Native American herbal traditions. European settlers and 19th-century Eclectic physicians quickly adopted the dark, gnarled root, recognizing its remarkable capacity to support the female reproductive system and soothe pelvic discomfort. Valued in both traditional practice and modern clinical herbalism, Black Cohosh remains one of the premier botanical allies for endocrine balance, smooth hormonal transitions, and nervous system ease.

TASTE & ENERGETICS

• Taste: Bitter, acrid, sweet, earthy
• Energetics: Cooling, drying, relaxing, descending

TRADITIONALLY USED FOR:

• Menopausal & Hormonal Balance: Easing temperature fluctuations (hot flushes, night sweats), mood variability, and hormonal irritability during perimenopause and menopause.
• Reproductive System Comfort: Supporting uterine tone and easing spasmodic tension or dull, heavy discomfort associated with monthly cycles.
• Nervous System & Mood Support: Calming nervous tension, dark or gloomy moods, and internal restlessness linked to hormonal shifts.
• Musculoskeletal Ease: Relaxing physical muscle tightness, nervous tension held in the neck and shoulders, and joint stiffness.

BREWING & PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Decoction (Root Tea): Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of coarse dried root to 1.5 cups of cold water in a small pot. Bring slowly to a gentle boil, cover, and simmer on low heat for 10–15 minutes. Strain and enjoy 1–2 times daily.
• Practitioner Note: Black Cohosh has a distinct earthy, acrid flavor profile. It pairs wonderfully with gentle, aromatic herbs to soften its taste.
