the only thing I really know about the negativity of black cohosh is that it lessens the protection birth control can give you against pregnancy.

I remeber reading somewhere that black cohoch was not really a good herb for NBE, but more for menopouse, cause it blocks something, I don't remeber how it went, but I have the description saved somewhere, I'll see if I can find it later.

the only thing instance i have heard of black(or blue, for that matter) cohosh being dangerous is in pregnancy. if early in the pregnancy, it will cause a miscarriage, or if later in pregnancy, it will start labor. a very helpful herb for those women at their due date or past it! good luck

Someone on a different Forum said that black cohosh can help with nipple sexual responsiveness and sensitivity. Does anyone who has tried black cohosh have an opinion on this?

I used black cohosh in my program for a few weeks...I never took it internally because I read somewhere that there could be some health risks if you take it regularly...I don't remember what it was...I used it in my massage and it gave me quite a bit of swelling for the first week or so, but it seemed like my body got used to it and it didn't work it's magic anymore...i've never heard that it interfeared with birth control, i'll have to do some more research on it...but i don't think that you could get enough through massage to effect it...but anyway...if you want to try it I don't really have anything bad to say about it...

I'm going to do some research too to see if black cohash interferes with birth control too, but please let us know if you find anything out, as will I. The products I ordered has that herb in it (they haven't gotten here yet)

Yep, I think it can be dangerous. Black Cohosh is a luteinizing hormone inhibitor so you definitely do not want anything to do with it unless you are menopausal. As I remember, menopausal woman have a steady increase in LH, so this may be of help. However, Black Cohosh also binds to serotonin receptors. If you are on SRIs this could be a problem. There are a myriad of other side effects of this herb including that is it may cause miscarriages.
