A Plant for Monday - Fairy Candle

Fairy Candle (black cohosh, black bugbane, black snakeroot; syn. Cimicifuga racemosa) is a plant of the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae).

It is native to eastern North America from the extreme south of Ontario to central Georgia, and west to Missouri and Arkansas. Fairy Candle grows in a variety of woodland habitats, and is often found in small woodland clearings.

The roots and rhizomes have long been used medicinally by Native Americans. Extracts from these plant materials are thought to possess analgesic, sedative, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Today, Fairy Candle preparations (tinctures or tablets of dried materials) are used mainly to treat symptoms associated with the Menopause.
