However, the authors said that clinical trial data on black cohosh are "equivocal," with some studies suggesting that the remedy works well, while others suggest that it does not relieve symptoms effectively.

One of the potential side effect of black cohosh is liver toxicity.

The study, titled 'Herbal medicines for menopausal symptoms' is published in the latest issue of the Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin (DTB).
