Triterpine glycosides present in the black cohosh binds with the estrogen receptor and selectively suppresses luteinizing hormone. This results in decrease of menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, diaphoresis and psychological disturbances. The improvement in premenstrual symptoms and dysmenorrheal is due to the relaxation of uterine tissue caused by black cohosh.
