Botanical Name: Actaea racemosa (formerly Cimicifuga racemosa) Extraction Ratio: 1:3 Alcohol Content: 60% Certified Organic | Decocted for Deep Extraction
🧬 Rooted in Tradition
Black Cohosh has a storied legacy stretching back centuries. Indigenous peoples of North America used the rough, knotted root to support musculoskeletal comfort, menstrual balance, and respiratory ease. Later adopted by European settlers, it became a staple in herbal tonics for women’s reproductive health.
The name “cohosh” comes from the Algonquian language, meaning “rough,” likely referring to the texture of the root itself. Its Latin name evolved from Cimicifuga (meaning “bug repeller”) to Actaea, a genus named by Pliny the Elder in his ancient botanical texts.
🌸 Benefits & Energetic Profile
Traditionally used to:
Support menopausal transitions, including mood and temperature regulation

Energetically, Black Cohosh is seen as a cooling, downward-moving herb, often used to anchor emotional energy and soften internal resistance.
🧪 Extraction Method
This tincture is decocted — meaning the root is gently simmered before alcohol extraction — allowing for maximum release of deep-rooted constituents. The 1:3 ratio ensures a potent concentration, while the 60% alcohol preserves both volatile and water-soluble compounds.
🧴 Suggested Use
Start with ½ pipette (approx. 1 mL) once daily. May increase to 1–2 mL per day, split into two doses if needed. Shake well before use. Best taken in a small amount of water or herbal tea.
