"Herbal Menopause Remedy Turns Woman into Marge Simpson Lookalike, Nearly Damages Liver"
A Pennsylvania mom experienced severe liver damage and yellowing of the skin after taking a store-bought herbal remedy, black cohosh, for menopause symptoms. She initially experienced relief from mood swings and improved sleep, but after six weeks, she developed stomach pains and jaundice. Doctors linked her symptoms to the herbal supplement, which has been associated with liver injury in clinical studies. After stopping the supplement, her enzyme levels began to return to normal, but her skin and eyes still have a yellow tinge. She is now warning other women to research and consult with their doctors before taking supplements.
