What is Black Cohosh?

Black cohosh is a phytoestrogenic agent. This means that it contains plant estrogens, compounds that look similar to human estrogen and can interact with estrogen receptors in the human body. The important thing to remember is that these plant estrogens only stimulate the receptors a fraction of the amount that the hormone estrogen would. Therefore black cohosh can be used to treat conditions of high estrogen activity, by blocking the activity of the hormone estrogen.

It can also treat conditions of low estrogen activity by binding to vacant receptor sites and causing a bit of hormonal stimulation. Black cohosh is used to treat menopausal symptoms, like hot flashes, anxiety and depression, and PMS and painful periods. Black cohosh also contains aspirin precursor molecules called salicylates. Therefore black cohosh has pain relieving and anti-inflammatory properties that are useful for conditions like arthritis. Some compounds in black cohosh have been found to decrease blood pressure by dilating vessels making black cohosh useful for treating high blood pressure.

Estrogen Explained

Estrogens are a group of hormones that are produced in the ovaries, in females, and in small amounts in the male testicles. One form, estrone, is produced in the fat cells of both men and women. Throughout a women's life the balance of female hormones affects her overall health and vitality. Both high and low levels of estrogen are associated with health problems. Estrone is strong in terms of its stimulation of the body and must be kept in check by having adequate levels of the other estrogens, estradiol and estriol. High estrone increases the risk of heart disease and PMS. Estrone becomes more abundant in women who are obese. Estradiol is the most abundant estrogen in women of reproductive age. It is responsible for female characteristics, protecting the bones and cardiovascular system, keeping the hair and skin vital and maintaining fertility. High levels of estradiol cause the same problems as high levels of estrone. Estriol becomes important in postmenopausal women but it only stimulates the body a little as compared to estrone and estradiol. Optimal levels of estriol protect women from complaints of aging like heart disease, loss of hair, skin wrinkling and bone loss.

To enhance the body's production of estrogen without taking estrogen itself there are several options. By supporting the function of the ovaries the body can optimize its estrogen levels, relative to a woman's age. Essential fatty acid and protein intake is important. Essential fatty acids are used to make steroid molecules, the precursors to hormones like estrogens. Primrose and borage oil are two sources of essential fatty acids that have a particular affinity for balancing female hormones. Protein is what the body uses to build connective tissue, bone and fetal tissue under the direction of hormones, like estrogen.

Vitamins and minerals that support sexual gland function include vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B complex, vitamin B6, zinc, beta-carotene, calcium, magnesium, selenium and zinc. Herbs can support estrogen production by containing plant estrogens (phytoestrogens); compounds that look similar to human estrogen and can interact with estrogen receptors in the human body. The important thing to remember is that these plant estrogens only stimulate the receptors a fraction of the amount that the hormone estrogen would. Therefore they can be used to treat conditions of high estrogen activity, by blocking the activity of the hormone estrogen. It can also treat conditions of low estrogen activity by binding to vacant receptor sites and causing a bit of hormonal stimulation. Some examples of plants that contain phytoestrogens are black cohosh, chaste tree, dong quai, red clover and soy.
