What is Black Cohosh?
The Latin name of black cohosh, Cimicifuga, actually means bug repeller, although today it is better known for its hormonal activity. Black cohosh is a phytoestrogenic agent. This means that it contains plant estrogens, compounds that look similar to human estrogen and can interact with estrogen receptors in the human body. The important thing to remember is that these plant estrogens only stimulate the receptors a fraction of the amount that the hormone estrogen would. Therefore black cohosh can be used to treat conditions of high estrogen activity, by blocking the activity of the hormone estrogen.

It can also treat conditions of low estrogen activity by binding to vacant receptor sites and causing a bit of hormonal stimulation. Black cohosh is used to treat menopausal symptoms, like hot flashes, anxiety and depression, and PMS and painful periods. Black cohosh also contains aspirin precursor molecules called salicylates. Therefore black cohosh has pain relieving and anti-inflammatory properties that are useful for conditions like arthritis. Some compounds in black cohosh have been found to decrease blood pressure by dilating vessels making black cohosh useful for treating high blood pressure.

What is Green Tea?
Green tea is the dried leaves of the same tea plant that gives us the popular black tea. The difference is that black tea is fermented to produce the characteristic flavour and this process destroys most of its medicinal benefits. Green tea is a medicinal food because the active ingredients are present in a cup of tea in sufficient quantities to have some medicinal effects. However, by adding milk to green tea the antioxidant status of the tea can be significantly lowered. There are many types of green tea beverages, bagged or loose leaves, organic and non-organic, caffeinated and decaffeinated products. Green tea may also be combined with other herbs or flavours (i.e. lemon, peach, jasmine). Green tea supplements are found as encapsulated herb or tablets. Green tea supplements should be standardized as an assurance of the amount of polyphenols they contain. It can be found in combination products for cholesterol control, heart health and anti-aging.

Green tea’s antioxidant properties neutralize free radicals and therefore reduce damage to tissue. Green tea’s epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and prevent the spread of tumors to other areas of the body. It may also increase the effectiveness of some anti-cancer medication while protecting the body’s normal cells from cancer therapies like radiation and chemotherapy. Natural health practitioners for low immune functioning, age-related diseases, cardiovascular disease and cancer may recommend green tea.
