Bulk Organic Black Cohosh Root

Black cohosh root (Actaea racemosa, also called Cimicifuga racemosa) is the dried, cut root and rhizome of a woodland plant native to eastern North America. It has a strong, earthy, somewhat bitter taste. This one is kosher certified.

It is generally prepared as a decoction, simmered gently in water, or used in home tincture making rather than steeped as a quick tea. Sold from the bulk section by weight, so you can pick up a small quantity. Store it in a sealed jar away from light and moisture.
