Black cohosh is named after its twisting, black root, which assomiglia a snake. The herbaceous perennial is native to central and eastern North America and prefers woodland habitats. The powdered black cohosh root can be encapsulated, tinctured, or made into tablets.
Black Cohosh is a flowering perennial found throughout Canada and the United States. It thrives in old-growth coastal forests and areas with high biodiversity. The United States and Canada produce and cultivate the vast majority of the world's black cohosh. The plant grows between three and six feet tall, with a stem covered in tiny white flowers. The best time to harvest the root is between late July and September.
