Vitex Extract

Description

Vitex extract is a slow-acting herb, usually recommended to allow three full cycles for the plant to really work its magic, and many women take it for up to several years. In the thousands of years that it has been in use, there are no reports of even the mildest side effects. Vitex is a safe, gentle, and effective supporting health in women during every cycle of life except pregnancy.

Vitex has been recommended by herbalists to reduce a man’s testosterone levels and to balance hormones in women. It is also used to suppress the onset of prostate cancer related to high testosterone levels.

Vitex (or Chaste Berry) is native to Mediterranean countries, and its uses were first developed in ancient Greece and Rome and were only slowly developed after the fall of these two empires. Most of its early uses were related to its spicy, warming nature in “dispelling wind”, although there are early references to its use in “inflammation of the womb”, and as an herb to “quench the passions”.
