    I think you meant Black Cohosh? If so, it makes me feel 'weird'. Sage leaf, and flax seeds seem to be doing it for me.smile

    My weight had been creeping up for some years. Last Christmas it had reached an unheard of 13st! Since I cut out added sugar, pastries and highly processed food and started eating more veg, seeds/nuts and grass-fed meat and dairy I have lost 20lb!

    I heard that black cohosh makes you gain weight. You can google it but I'm pretty sure I read that. I used to take it and I gained some weight. Of course I was trying to gain weight because peri made me lose a lot of weight.
