Chaste Tree Berry ( Vitex agnus castus ) Powder - 4 oz. Bulk

Chaste Tree Berry is ancient in European tradition for hemorrhage following childbirth and menstrual regulation, discussed at length by Hippocrates, Dioscorides and Theophrastus.

Contemporary research supports these ancient physicians, showing that the whole Chaste Tree Berry fruit is medicinally active.

Vitex causes the pituitary gland to produce luteinizing hormone. This increases progesterone production and helps regulate a woman’s cycle. Vitex also keeps prolactin secretion in check. The ability to decrease mildly elevated prolactin levels may benefit some infertile women as well as some women with premenstrual syndrome.

A double-blind study, confirming other studies, showed Vitex to be more effective than vitamin B6 in controlling PMS symptoms. The German Commission E monograph recommends a daily intake of 40 mg of the dried herb. The infusion, decoction and extract are also used – but for long periods – this is not a fast acting remedy, and will not give immediate symptomatic relief. It is safe to use over long periods.

Usage: 1 tsp. 2 to 3 times a day depending on condition.
