Detailed description
Cimicifuga Racemosa is a perennial herb of the Ranunculaceae family native to eastern and central North America. It is also cultivated in China and Europe. The root and rhizome are traditionally used to alleviate symptoms of premenstrual and post-menopausal syndrome, such as hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disorders, dizziness, nervousness and mood swings. The main phytochemical compounds in cimicifuga rhizomes are triterpene glycosides, phenols, flavonoids and alkaloids. At present, the mechanisms of action of cimicifuga root are not clearly determined, but the effects observed are mainly linked to triterpene glycosides.
