Black Cohosh
Black cohosh (Actaea racemosa), also known as black snakeroot or fairy candle, is a perennial herb native to North America, esteemed for its medicinal properties, particularly in supporting women’s health. Traditionally, black cohosh root has been used to alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. Its active compounds, including phytoestrogens, may help balance hormones and provide relief from menstrual discomfort.
Energetically, black cohosh is associated with protection, spiritual balance, and empowerment. In spiritual practices, it is utilized to dispel negative energies, promote inner strength, and facilitate emotional healing. Incorporating black cohosh into rituals can aid in releasing emotional blockages and fostering resilience.
Whether you’re brewing a tea to support hormonal balance, preparing a tincture for menopausal relief, or incorporating it into spiritual practices for protection and empowerment, dried black cohosh root is a valuable addition to your herbal collection.
