Black Cohosh

Black Cohosh was used by Native American tribes, such as the Algonquin, Cherokee, and Iroquois tribes. The herb was infused with spirits and used as a tonic to help with many heat-based illnesses. Used to treat fever, cough, pneumonia and bronchial conditions, Black Cohosh works to boost energy in your body. It’s most commonly used to help treat symptoms of menopause including irregularity, hot flashes, night sweats, vertigo, tinnitus. It helps regulate sleep disturbances and irritability for those that have the ability to reproduce. Its plant-based estrogen can help inhibit bone loss, ease inflammation from arthritis. It works best as a tonic taken in smaller doses for up to six months.

Magickally, Black Cohosh works to bring body and spirit together as one, reminding us that we are all, in fact, one and connected. It invites us to listen with ease to our inner guides and has protective properties. It gives courage to those seeking to overcome an obstacle when used in ritual or protective spells. Add to a mix for banishing spells and to attract love and protection into your house.
