Is a Dose of 540 mg a Day of Black Cohosh Safe for Women?
For centuries, Native Americans have included black cohosh in their health treatments for painful joints, sore throat, general discomfort, kidney problems and issues related to the female reproductive system, reports the website Planet Botanic. Today, women use it to relieve many of the symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes and mood changes, and proponents claim it is beneficial in the treatment of arthritis. However, there is not enough clinical evidence to support its use for these ailments, and you should consult your physician before beginning any sort of regimen.
