Taking its dosages to cope with your menopause, it will also help reduce your risk of future breast cancer. Doesn’t it sound profitable and interesting? However, the drug using the herb, need more research into it, before can be recommended for use for preventing breast cancer.
The research found that women who use black cohosh, besides dong quai, red clover, ginseng and yam for their menopause phase, are less at risk from breast cancer by 61 percent, compared to the other drug users.
It has also been found that African-American women were more likely to use the herbs than their European-American counterparts.
According to the researchers,
Substantial additional research must be undertaken before it can be established that black cohosh, or some compound found in black cohosh, is a breast cancer chemopreventive agent.
They further stress that,
women may wish to seek guidance from their physician before using these compounds.
