Part Used: Dried root of Actaea racemosa, finely milled
Description: Black Cohosh Root Powder is produced from the dried roots of Actaea racemosa, a perennial herb native to the woodlands of North America. The roots are carefully harvested at maturity, cleaned to remove natural soil residue, and dried to preserve their natural colour and dense, fibrous texture. Once dried, the roots are finely milled into a smooth, uniform powder that retains the natural appearance and structure of the plant material.
Actaea racemosa produces thick, fibrous roots with a firm structure. When processed into powder, the roots retain their natural earthy colour and fibrous characteristics. The finely milled form ensures easy blending into dry mixtures, botanical formulations, and creative craft applications.
Fresh roots are washed, dried using controlled warm-air or low-temperature methods to reduce moisture, and milled under controlled conditions to achieve a consistent fine powder. No additives, fillers, or processing agents are used, resulting in a pure plant-based ingredient composed solely of dried root material.
Uses: Black Cohosh Root Powder is used in botanical craft blends, powdered decorative mixtures, resin art, potpourri-style preparations, and educational herb kits. Its smooth texture, natural colour, and uniform consistency make it suitable for creative projects where a fine plant-based powder is desired.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
