Baldwins Agnus Castus Herb ( Vitex Agnus Castus )

Agnus castus [fructus] (also known as Chasteberries)

Origin: Morocco

'Chaste' derives from the middle ages, where monks would ingest the berries to reduce passionate desires and maintain celibacy. This would help them advance in their spiritual practice; enhancing discipline and focus.

Health perks:

Traditionally used to support reproductive health in females, by balancing out hormones; especially prolactin levels. These berries help to manage the imbalances that come with irregularities of menstrual cycles and (PMS) premenstrual syndrome. Eases breast tenderness, and dispels hormonal acne. Where menopause is highlighted, Chasteberry helps in alleviating the hot flushes. Altogether, calms mood fluctuations.

 Best taken first thing in the morning to set the day ahead.

P.S. ***If pregnant/ nursing, or there are health imbalances that require attention, it is always wise to consult a qualifed herbal practitioner... even before trying a new remedy.
