Chasteberry, or commonly known as Vitex, has been revered for its ability to regulate hormonal conditions and has been used as a remedy for a variety of female reproductive issues.
Chasteberry is indicated to support the regulation of the menstrual cycle, menopausal symptoms, and fertility issues. It has shown to be supportive as a phytoestrogenic therapy that can help regulate estrogen levels by mitigating premenstrual symptoms through decreasing the hormone levels that contribute to symptoms like irritability and abdominal pain.
HISTORY
Ancient Greek Uses: Chasteberry has been mentioned by Hippocrates, Dioscoride, and Theophrast as a remedy for general injuries, inflammation, swelling of the spleen; the leaves were infused into wine to treat hemorrhoids as well. Chasteberry was used for wild animal bites and edema.
“If blood flows from the womb, let the woman drink dark red wine in which the leaves of the chaste tree have been steeped. A draft of Chaste leaves in wine also serves to expel a chorion help fast in the womb.” - Corpus Hippocratum, HippocratesÂ
Other Traditional Uses: Chasteberry was known as “monk’s pepper” and used as a spice in many dishes in Southern Europe; it has been used to support lactation issues, infertility, uterine fibroids, and PMS symptoms. Chasteberry branches were also placed under the pillow of those who wish to preserve their chastity, or a tea was brewed and drank to suppress sexual desires.
