Black Cohosh is a herbal remedy which has been shown to be effective in the treatment of menopausal symptoms including hot flushes, tiredness, and mood swings. In some cases there was even a reversal of some symptoms such as an increase in the amount of vaginal tissue, improved muscle tone and a decrease in vaginal dryness. You can find black cohosh in health food shops.

However, be aware that black cohosh is highly oestrogenic and therefore if you are at an increased risk of developing breast cancer, or other gynaecological cancers you would do well to avoid it.
