Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Trina Sims of Green Star Herbs and today I'm going to tell you a little about the uses for black cohosh root. Black cohosh is primarily used to support women's hormonal and reproductive system health. It's considered a hormone balancer and relieves many of the miseries of PMS and menopause. I consider it the number one go to remedy for hot flushes. It works very, very fast. Black cohosh root also relaxes smooth muscle which will help with cramps, muscular tension and can help release some tension headaches. It's used in teas, capsules or as a liquid extract and is found in many commercial formulas for tension and hormonal issues. I hope you find this information helpful. Thank you."
