Black Cohosh
The Latin name of black cohosh, Cimicifuga, actually means bug repeller, although today it is better known for its hormonal activity. 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.
Black Cohoshhas antispasmodic, sedative, diaphoretic, hypotensive and anti-inflammatory activities. This herb is also a digestive stimulant, a mild expectorant, and a peripheral vasodilator. Black Cohosh is principally used for treating the symptoms of menopause, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, and premenstrual syndrome. It is also known to induce labor in pregnant women, improve Contractions that are weak or ineffectual, and relieve the cramps associated with false labour.
Benefits of Tinctures
Capsules, soft gels and tablets are very popular. Tinctures, however, have many advantages over these modes of delivery. The bio-availability of tinctures is very high in comparison, because unlike pills tinctures don't rely on digestion to break them down. Tinctures are readily absorbed by the body, beginning their work in the bloodstream almost as soon as they enter the mouth. Which is a very significant benefit. Note also that:
Why are tinctures alcohol-based?
Not only is the alcohol in St. Francis tinctures indispensable for extracting the active ingredients of an herb, it is also needed to stabilize and preserve them. As well as limiting microbial activity, alcohol has the ability to inhibit enzymatic or hydrolytic reactions in plant extracts.
Alcohol plays the role of a carrier substance conveying active ingredients within the body. Beyond that, it has been scientifically proven that small amounts of alcohol actually enhance the immune system and its defenses.
The amount of alcohol taken in an average dose of tincture, you'll be surprised to learn, is about the same as what you'd find in an overly ripe banana!

- Tinctures can be applied externally as well as internally
- Tinctures can be stored for long periods of time, even years, without loss of effectiveness
- Tinctures can be taken relatively accurately because they are administered in drops
