Black Cohosh in menopause
Synonyms: Cimicifuga racemosa, Remifemin
Black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) is a North American herb with moderate evidence for hot flushes, especially standardised formulations like Ze 450 (Remifemin). Mechanism: it affects brain neurotransmitters, not estrogen directly. Being plant-based, halal status is usually easier to verify, but check the exact product label; it comes as a tablet or vegetable capsule. Caution with liver issues.
