USES Pre-menstrual tension syndrome (PMS/PMT), teenage acne, hormone imbalance.

HISTORY Vitex Agnus Castus was well known in ancient times and featured in Homer’s 6th- century BC epic The Iliad, as a symbol of chastity. As the name chaste tree implies, it was used to reduce sexual desire and traditionally monks chewed it to reduce unwanted libido.

Vitex Agnus Castus aka Chaste Tree

HOW IT WORKS Research has confirmed that Agnus Castus has a hormonal action. A study in Germany indicated the berries have a progesterogenic effect, acting on the pituitary gland, which regulates the menstrual cycle. It also has been reported to possess the ability to inhibit #Prolactin.

Both these actions are thought to be important in PMS, particularly as many who suffer with the problem have a greater sensitivity to Prolactin.

Agnus Castus has also been found to be very effective in the treatment of teenage acne in both women and men due to its balancing effect on hormones.

Supplement with #Zinc and #BetaCarotin aka #VitaminA to aid the healthy healing of your skin.

Maintaining a healthy, regular bowel
Irritable bowel
Removing toxins from the intestinal tract
