Does anyone know if Black Cohosh Root is any good for PCOS. It's supposed to be good for menstral/menopausal problems including irregular periods and hot flashes.

I have been taking it for a couple of weeks now and it seems to have helped the hot flashes I was having. Just after I started taking it, I had an IUD taken out so I had a very heavy bleed from that . That is just subsiding now so I'll see what happens next.

I am trying to decide whether to stick with this or try the vitex.

Black cohosh is indeed helpful for women with PCOS. You can take both vitex and black cohosh together.

I'll reply with more specific info tomorrow when I have time.

According to Rosemary Gladstar:

Black cohosh has a reguating and normalising effect on hormone production and is often used ................ to balance and regulate female hormones. It has an oestrogenic action.

She reccomends it for muscle pains, and for bringing on AF, as well as relieving the stress and tension (ie. PMS) associated with AF.
