I have *heard* of this, and that's it. There is a preparation on the market called Nature's Friend or something similar that has black cohash and mother's wort (??) Unfortunately it is difficult to find reliable information (i.e., not an AD!) for alternative/herbal medicines, and as a traditional Western physician, I have NO training in those areas. The medical literature is also sparse for most of these subjects. I'm always open to learning, though, so if you find anything else out, please re-post!
