Black Cohosh

Scientific Names: Actaea racemosa (Synonym Cimicifuga racemosa), A. macrotys Other Common Names: Squaw root, rattle root, baneberry, black snakeroot, bugbane Overall Safety: 😐

Therapeutic Efficacy and Considerations:

Menopausal Hot Flashes: 😊 Of thirteen trials of black cohosh examining efficacy for hot flushes and other menopause symptoms, eight found significant reduction in symptoms, one compared two doses with greater benefit noted for the higher dose group. And four studies, including a recent high-quality trial, found no significant reductions in symptoms. One study did not note a difference in the overall population but did find black cohosh to be better than placebo in patients with more severe symptoms. Although much more research is needed to answer remaining questions regarding both safety and extent of efficacy, current evidence does allow black cohosh to be considered a possible option for reduction of menopausal hot flushes, especially for women hesitant to take traditional prescription hormone replacement therapies. Counseling should include awareness regarding the lack of data on long-term safety data and effects on bone loss. Although two trials were conducted in breast cancer survivors, and the extract is often promoted as being safe in these patients, it is unknown if black cohosh is truly safe in regard to increased risk of additional tumor development. Additionally, black cohosh may not be as effective in these patients, as one of the trials with negative results was conducted in breast cancer survivors. Dose: 40 mg given in one to two doses, standardized to contain 1 mg 2-deoxyacteinin per 20 mg tablet.

Menstrual Migraine: 🙁 Black cohosh’s efficacy for this indication has been examined only in a product combined with other ingredients. There is no evidence to support its use alone for prevention of hormone-triggered migraines.

Chemistry/Pharmacology: The black cohosh rhizome contains multiple constituents. Primarily these are the triterpene deoxyacetin (to which extracts are standardized), as well as phytosterin, long-chain fatty acids, caffeic acid, isoferulic acid, fukinolic acid, salicylic acid, sugars, and tannins. Activity to relieve hot flushes seems to be via a vasoactive property, rather than an estrogenic effect. The exact mechanism by which estrogen-like effects are exerted are unknown and it is unclear if it can accurately be classified as a “phytoestrogen.” Studies investigating effects are controversial: some have noted binding to estrogen receptors, as well as increases in luteinizing hormone levels, while others have found no binding to receptors and no changes in hormone levels. Studies have noted no estrogenic effects on endometrial hyperplasia similar to that seen with pharmaceutical estrogen therapy. Black cohosh may also have serotonin or dopamine receptor activities. One component, fukinolic acid, may be responsible for observed anti-inflammatory effects via inhibition of neutrophil elastase.

Drug Interactions: Hepatotoxic agents (due to the possibility of additive hepatic effects); hormone replacement or oral contraceptives (due to possible additive estrogenic activity); and sedatives, antihypertensives, and anesthetics (due to possible potentiation of hypotensive effects). Black cohosh may increase the toxicity of doxorubicin and docetaxel and also decrease the effectiveness of cisplatin.

Contraindications/Precautions: Pregnancy and lactation (due to possible hormonal effects); liver disease (due to possible hepatotoxicity). Despite some studies in patients with a history of breast cancer, until more is known about possible estrogenic effects, use in patients with estrogen-dependent tumors is not recommended.

Adverse Effects: May cause GI distress, rash, headache, dizziness, hypotension, bradycardia, endometrial hyperplasia, and weight gain. There have been several reported cases of liver disease; however, patients were taking other herbs along with the black cohosh, making associations unclear. Regular monitoring of liver function is recommended.

Level up, featuring Aziraphale: gore tw, death tw, insect tw, drug mention tw, injury tw, nightmares tw

Oh downtown, dear, sweet downtown, place of pleasant strolls taken under pretty parasols and scene of spreads as scrumptious as they were splendid. What a relief it was to see its familiar streets once again!

Aziraphale folded his wings against his back and filled his lungs to the brim with the acrid, gasoline-infused air. But oh, to him, how fresh it was! There was nothing that could ever hope to be fresher, not any salty seaside mist, not any crisp mountain chill, not anything at all!

He let the air linger in his lungs for a few moments, surely polluting at least one poor alveolus in the process. Finally, when his chest began to ache with spent breath, he released it and became aware again of his surroundings. Oh, that over there was strange…and that. Oh goodness. Oh goodness, oh heavens, oh Lord above.

Aziraphale’s serene downtown had become anything but.

Horrors of all shapes and sizes ran free, cavorting around like mad cultists paying homage to their terrifying, ravenous god. Each one feverishly ran down a target, a fresh body with which to fill its overlord’s bottomless belly. An enormous three-headed dog plucked up one woman by the skull, pointing its snouts to the sky as it gulped her down whole. Another man ran by, desperately swatting at the horde of mosquitos that were persistently draining him of his lifeblood. Without hesitation, Aziraphale raised a hand and snapped his fingers, putting forth his first miracle since arriving in Washington. With this simple gesture, the man suddenly started smelling pungently of that wonderful bugbane citronella. The mosquitos hovered around him for a moment more, confused by the sudden scandalous scent, before finally scattering to the wind.

“I never quite knew what She was thinking when She made mosquitos. The others made sense, but mosquitos…mosquitos, dear boy, are just a nuisance.”

The man nodded wordlessly before scurrying off to find shelter. Aziraphale allowed a satisfied smile to grace his face as his heart whelmed with that wonderful, warm feeling that for so long, had been the only thing he’d lived for. That feeling of assisting, of helping, of being some force of good in the world was the angels’ drug, one that Aziraphale was still susceptible to despite his newfound independence.

The high didn’t last for long.

Aziraphale turned to resume his journey toward the Capitol when he saw Crowley standing in the middle of the street. Odd, he thought, Crowley didn’t mention getting this far. And where has the Doctor flitted off to? Aren’t they supposed to be together?

A hooded figure stepped out from behind Crowley’s silhouette. Aziraphale squinted to try to see their face past the shadow of their black robe, but the darkness hugged their features, sheltering them from his prying gaze.

“You there,” Aziraphale called, pointing at the figure. “Whatever do you think you’re doing?”

They didn’t answer, instead roughly grabbing the back of Crowley’s neck with one gloved hand. Their other hand disappeared into their cloak, emerging a moment later with a shimmering, glimmering crystal pitcher clutched between their leather-clad fingers. Contained within it was water clearer than the glass in which it swirled.

Aziraphale staggered a step forward and the cloaked figure threateningly brought the pitcher up over Crowley’s head. Crowley gritted his teeth as the water sloshed menacingly just above his coiffed crown of fiery red hair.

Aziraphale opened his mouth to call out, to caterwaul, to cry for his love’s life, but fell silent for fear that it would just provoke Crowley’s captor. Instead, his hand went to his phone and tapped out two quick texts.

Don’t move.

I’ll be right there, dear. Just stay put.

“Get outta here, angel,” Crowley said, hanging his head low so that Aziraphale could just see the amber of his eyes peaking above the rim of his glasses. Oh, that audacious amber, once so full of spunk, of mischief, of the essence of life itself, now rendered so dejected, so terribly, terribly resigned. “Just leave me.”

“Absolutely not,” Aziraphale protested.

I’ve made that mistake far too many times before.

Aziraphale felt the miracle manifest, hovering and buzzing at his fingertips. He raised his hand, pointer finger and thumb crossed, and let its power loose upon the world.

The world, for its part, did not care.

No shadows dissolved, no shades dissipated, not even the water in the pitcher thought to disappear upon the air’s dry, thirsting tongue. Everything remained as it had been, everything except the quick, flickering edge of the water. In the moment Aziraphale had spent exerting himself, it had drawn closer, closer, ever-closer to the pitcher’s spout.

“You don’t need to do this,” Aziraphale pleaded to the hooded figure. “Not to him. It was all my fault, really. I – “

The hooded figure tilted the pitcher and let loose a deluge of holy water upon Crowley’s head.

He didn’t disappear immediately. No, just enough of Aziraphale’s light had kissed his skin over the years, working into the flesh and infusing it with its nourishment, its healing, its strength. Crowley’s body now drew upon that strength as it sizzled under the acidic water, fighting, resisting, persisting before ultimately burning away into nihility.

Aziraphale could see that Crowley was trying not to scream in front of him, biting his lip so hard that a small trickle of blood had begun to run down his chin. At this point, Aziraphale stopped thinking and charged toward him, just barely catching him in his arms as the cloaked figure let go of his neck.

“I – I can fix this, “ Aziraphale stammered. “Heal you.”

Crowley tried to say something, but his voice was gone, the cords long ago burned out from his throat. Realizing this, he instead began to weakly shake his head.

No, darling. It’s over. It’s fine. Go on now, get out of here, go and live. For you. For us.

And Aziraphale, beneath the great façade of hope and faith, knew that he was right.

He held Crowley close to his chest, whispering into his ear as he lapsed from the world one final time.

“I love you.”

In 1967, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare approved four kampo medicines for reimbursement under the National Health Insurance (NHI) program. In 1976, 82 kampo medicines were approved by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Currently, 148 kampo medicines are approved for reimbursement.

Over 30 Hormone Support

The Over 30 Hormone Support supplement presentation starts out highlighting the the vital need for women to balance their hormones and control female's three master hormones, cortisol, estrogen and leptin.

The story behind Over 30 Hormone Support is about a 55-year old mom of three children who found a weight loss solution for women over the age of thirty, especially those who look to target the midsection and burn belly fat. The hormonal balance tecnique described in the video claims to be a natural, life-changing strategy used by ancient tribes that is now scientifically proven to work. Let's review Over 30 Hormone Support to find out what the research says and whether or not the facts add up about resetting these three female hormones that could potentially spark weight loss benefits using herbal ingredients and a 7-second ritual.

Why Do Women Need Hormonal Health Support?

Hormonal imbalance is a major burden on women's health, as changes occur from one stage of life to the next. For instance, when a girl gets her period, her hormonal needs change and this is just as likely when a woman gets pregnant and later on approaches menopause. This fluctuation is unavoidable; therefore, one must either learn to adapt to them or fight them.

What happens when hormonal imbalances aren’t immediately treated? The consequences can be health-wrecking, as the odds of experiencing serious conditions like endocrine disorders, irregular menstrual cycles, hormone deficiency, and tumors are much larger. This is where it is most fit to introduce the Over 30 Hormone Support.

As per the claims made, upon ingesting the Over 30 Hormone Support, women are likely to expect some weight loss, normalized blood sugar, normalized blood pressure levels, and lowered cholesterol to name a few. Here’s what you need to know:

What is Over 30 Hormone Support?

The Over 30 Hormone Support is a dietary supplement designed specifically for women's health. In particular, it claims to support hormone regulation in the most natural way, which in turn is expected to result in a healthy heart and skin, and balanced libido in one’s system.

What ingredients are in the Over 30 Hormone Support Supplement?

There are 10 different herbal extracts and ingredients used in the Over 30 Hormone supplement to support women having hormonal imbalances, including; Black Cohosh, Dong Quai, Red Clover, Asian Ginseng, Licorice and Chasteberry to name a few (not all herbal extracts in the formula are made available, nor the supplement facts nutrition label with the dosage and potency amounts).

Here’s an overview of the role each ingredient plays:

Black Cohosh

Also referred to as bugbane or snakeroot, Black Cohosh is an herb that is supposedly common in treating hormone-related symptoms in women, some of which include PMS, and even menopausal symptoms (i.e. hot flashes, excessive sweating, vaginal dryness, etc.)

Dong Quai

Dong Quai is the next herb to make it to the ingredients list and is regarded as significant in fighting menopausal and PMS symptoms. It supposedly contains antispasmodic properties, which is the main reason why it has the ability to ease menstrual cramps (i.e. relaxes muscle tissues). Finally, it is proclaimed as an analgesic and carries mild sedative properties, ultimately, helping women relax.

Red Clover

What makes Red Clover desirable is that it carries phytoestrogens, a compound that mimics the woman hormone, estrogen. Given that estrogen production decreases with age, this ingredient’s properties can fill in the void that is typically left behind by evident deficiency. This is why they are considered beneficial for pre and postmenopausal women.

Licorice

Also referred to as sweet root, licorice is commonly used in candies. However, what many people don’t know is its medicinal properties. For instance, it is supposedly used to treat gastrointestinal problems. It also has the ability to better one’s stomach lining and boost one’s immune system. All of this is supposedly achieved through a compound found within called glycyrrhizin acid.

Chasteberry

In the past, chasteberry was believed to serve as a sex drive booster, but things have taken a slight turn when it comes to women health. As per the claims made, chasteberry is used as an ingredient in a number of menstrual and menopause related supplements. Given that irregular menstrual cycles are associated with high prolactin levels, the likes of chasteberry is believed to make one’s cycle more regular.

Are there any Over 30 Hormone Supplement Side Effects?

As seen above, most of the ingredients used are very similar in properties. Sometimes too much of it, especially when the body is not used to it, can trigger some side effects. In this case, they may include dark urine, nausea, vomiting, cramps, an upset stomach and headaches to name a few.

That said, it is always recommended that one stays hydrated at all costs, as sometimes dehydration could trigger the aforementioned effects. The official website for Over 30 Hormone Support weight loss solution does say no matter if you are in your 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s that the product is designed to help all aging women's bodies. It also alludes to the fact that this product is specifically formulated for females and men should not use the supplement or program. Also, apparently there has been over 15,000 women who have already used the Over 30 Hormone balancing supplement that is manufactured in a FDA-inspected facility using state of the art technology to ensure the non-GMO product is free of antibiotics, toxins and impurities.

How much does the Over 30 Hormone Support cost?

Currently, one month’s worth of supply is going for $59. For those looking to take advantage of their bundle deals, purchasing three would drop the price to $49 each and six, to roughly $39 each. All Over 30 Hormone Support supplement orders come with a ‘Fit Over 30 Guarantee' that offers a 60 day refund window where users can return the product if not completely satisfied with the results it produces. Customers who purchased the hormone balancing weight loss supplement can email Debbie Anderson at to join the community and interact with the growing community of women using the product.

Is Over 30 Hormone Support Supplement Worth It?

The presentation outlined seven warning signs all women need to pay close attention to for understanding if your hormones are out of balance. From irregular periods, stubborn belly fat, bloating, yeast infections or urinary tract infections (UTI), to vaginal dryness, cold hands and feet or trouble sleeping, women all over the world need to figure out how to effectively optimize their hormones for optimal health.

The Over 30 Hormone Solution is merely a seven second trick mixed with herbal supplement ingredients that allegedly helps correct and even fix these hormonal issues that can kick up the fat burning weight loss process optimally as you age. Whether or not the Over 30 Hormone Reset Methods and Accelerator System actually works is going to depend on the individual as well as the company's integrity when it comes to ensuring the supplement facts label and dosage amount is tested and verified.

Black cohosh (Actaea racemosa), also referred to as black bugbane, black snakeroot, and fairy candles, is just now reaching peak bloom along the Mon River Trail. A perennial herb in the buttercup family, the plant grows best in open woods in part to full shade and rich, mesic soil; under ideal conditions, it forms dense colonies with a lush, shrub-like habit. With its dark green, deeply-dissected, tripinnately-compound foliage and dramatic plumes of white flowers, black cohosh makes a showy, reasonably undemanding addition to a native wildflower garden. The plant also has a long history of medicinal and herbal use by Native Americans, white settlers, and practitioners of alternative medicine - no endorsements here, of course. What can be safely said is that black cohosh is as intimately bound to Appalachian life and culture as are ginseng, greasy beans, moonshine, and ramps - it is one of the true natural icons of mountain life.

Did you know the majority of black cohosh on the market is adulterated with other herbs, lookalike herbs that are not black cohosh at all and can be, depending on the person and dosage, quite toxic? Much of the black cohosh in commerce is mixed in/mixed up with bugbane or doll's eyes, as it is often called, a rather poisonous, similar-looking plant. If you are buying medicinal herbs in commerce and you don't know the farmer or wildcrafter supplying the plant material or it's not a small business with integrity that does their plant sourcing on a small scale and in-house, the unfortunate truth of the herb market today is that you may not be getting exactly what you think you're getting at all. ⁠ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~⁠ Our fresh black cohosh root extract is processed by hand in late fall or even early winter before the ground is solidly frozen but after the plant has died back so that the majority of its chemical compounds AKA medicine is in the roots. We love her as a simple, as well as a key part of the formulas for Nerve and Muscle Blend and Menopause Tonic. https://ift.tt/310bYyK
