Black Cohosh
Hailed as an herb to cool hot flashes, black cohosh is one of the most popular natural remedies for menopause on the market. This humble root has been studied quite extensively, and while some studies have seen positive results, others haven’t found any benefit.
Although it does show promise (according to at least a few studies), black cohosh isn’t without its side effects. There is a potential for liver damage when taking this herb, so anyone already at risk for liver problems should proceed with extreme caution.
