Actaea racemosa, also known as Cimicifuga racemosa or black cohosh (Ranunculaceae), is a plant native to North America. The mother tincture is prepared from the dried underground parts.

They are indicated for menstrual disorders as well as various muscle pains, such as rheumatism, stiff neck, and tendinitis.
