Herbal Supplement Fails To Relieve Hot Flashes In Large Nih Trial

Herbal Supplement Fails To Relieve Hot Flashes In Large Nih Trial: "The herbal supplement black cohosh, whether used alone or with other botanical supplements, did not relieve hot flashes in postmenopausal women or those approaching menopause, who participated in the Herbal Alternatives (HALT) for Menopause Study, according to results from the clinical trial. The research, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), found that women using menopausal hormone therapy, however, did receive significant relief from their hot flashes and night sweats."
