Introduction

 

Vitex agnus-castus (chaste berry) is a well-known herb that has been used for centuries for hormonal

 

imbalances in women. Vitex is one of the oldest phytomedicines. The ancient Greek physicians reported

 

its use in suppressing the libido. Using medicines similar to modern indications, they recommended it as

 

an aid in external wound heeling, complaints of the spleen, and for use in child birth. The English have used

 

Vitex or Chaste berry to suppress the libido as did the Catholic Church, which had it placed in the pockets

 

of neophyte monks to help in their vow of chastity. Early American physicians used it to stimulate lactation

 

and as an emmenagogic. However, there is no contemporary scientific literature to suggest that Vitex or

 

chaste Berry actually does suppress the libido.

 

It is believed that chaste berry extract helps regulate hormonal imbalances by directly affecting the pituitary gland and the

 

hypothalamus. This results in more progesterone production and less follicle stimulating hormone production. Because

 

many hormonal disorders, such as poly-cystic ovarian syndrome are caused by hindered progesterone production,

 

chaste berry extract may be a beneficial treatment option.
