Introduction / full article

Hyperhidrosis

ID 912

Efficacy of Alternative and Other Treatments According to GRADE* Ranking:

Black Cohosh (cimicifuga Racemosa):

Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It is proposed only as a weak supportive symptomatic support, and even then, has insufficient evidence to back up this claim at present.

Recommendation: weakly in favor (Available evidence supports claims that Black Cohosh helps to treat symptoms of hyperhidrosis, but more studies are needed)

Grade of Evidence: low quality of evidence
