I just wanted to say that Goosie suggestion of a mix of tinctures is probably the best way to take cohosh. The vitex will add balance, too much oestrogen etc. The pulsitilla is a lovely herb very soothing, ages since I took this herb also a part of a tincture mix. Very useful for stomach cramps eases digestion (if I remember)
Just wanted to add that through experience that tinctures mixes, with the the right herbs can really help. Trouble is I think cohosh on it's own might not be so beneficial, needs to be balanced with a progesterone IMHO.
Vitex also works better when taken with other herbs. Trouble is I think people wil try just 1 herb on it's own which can be too much, no balance.
I think that Goosie's mix sounds good.
There are other herbs that I feel are better then cohosh such as Dong Quai, again take as part of a mix can be really helpful.
I think seeing a good herbalist if you can, can really help, however they have to know their stuff. (some don't)
Just thought I post with my experience of herbal medcine as a patient.
Thanks for posting tincture mix Goosie, very helpful

But good luck with this, I know it can be expensive visiting a herbalist. There are some good tincture blends on the market that contain some excellent herbs. I would tend to avoid the supplement variety, it is so difficult to determine what's in a supplement.
Higher Nature do a menopause supplement, herbal tinctures by Dr Christopher for menopause etc, can be helpful. Not sure how much we are allowed to mention here re. brands. Well worth exploring I think.
I wish you well with this, I just would urge caution on single herbs, unless of course you can take in a very gentle form say in a tea?
Good luck with your search and keep well!

i too take a small amount of this mixed with different things. I have taken it for 2 years now. This spring I figured I could stop taking it and did for two months. My hot flashes came back really bad so I started taking it again. Now after 2 months I am back to where I rarely have a hot flash and am sleeping better. I have not had any problems taking this supplement.
