    🌿 Black Cohosh Root, Cut and Sifted

    Black cohosh root (Actaea racemosa, also known as Cimicifuga racemosa) is one of North America's most storied woodland roots, carried for generations by herbalists and traditional practitioners. Our premium cut and sifted grade arrives in clean, uniform pieces that are ready for tinctures, slow decoctions, and custom formulas. On the palate it is unmistakably bitter, with the deep gentian, earthy, and wormwood notes that mark a characterful lot.

    Our black cohosh is grown in the USA, in the eastern hardwood woodlands where this North American native has always flourished. We source it premium grade and hold it to the same per-lot standards as every root we carry.

    Radical transparency is part of how we operate. Every lot of our black cohosh root is laboratory tested before release, screened for microbial contaminants, heavy metals, and identity and foreign matter. We publish the lab test results for every lot on our black cohosh root lab record, so you can verify the exact bag you receive. Backed by our 100% money-back guarantee.

    🌱 From the Sacred Plant Co Farm. Sacred Plant Co is a soil-first farm. Our own farm in Colorado earned a groundbreaking Haney Soil Health Score of 25.4, a number that surpasses the soil biology measured in pristine forest land. That score is the heart of who we are. We believe healthier soil grows more complex, more potent plants, and that philosophy is the reason we hold every herb we carry to the same per-lot laboratory testing standard.

    🌿 Frequently Asked Questions

    Is black cohosh root bitter, and is this grade strong enough for tinctures and decoctions?

    Yes. Black cohosh is a deeply bitter root, and ours carries the gentian, earth, and wormwood notes that mark a characterful lot. Our premium cut and sifted grade arrives in clean, uniform pieces that extract well in both alcohol tinctures and slow water decoctions. We hold every herb we carry to per-lot lab testing, so every lot performs the way you expect.

    Where does your black cohosh root come from?

    Our black cohosh is grown in the USA, in the eastern hardwood woodlands where this North American native has always flourished. We source it premium grade, cut and sifted, and every lot receives the same per-lot laboratory testing as everything we carry.
