Chasteberrry or Vitex

Chasteberry or vitex is a commonly used  for treating premenstrual syndrome PMS. It is also called vitex, chaste tree berry, or monk's pepper. It is the fruit of the chaste tree. In the middle ages monks chewed on dried berries to help them maintain their vows of celibacy. Recent scientific studies have not shown that chasteberry can dampen sexual desire. Science has however shown that chasteberry is effective in treating premenstrual syndrome PMS.

Studies have shown that chasteberry or vitex relieves PMS related complaints such as irritability, bloating and depression. Chasteberry's prolactin-lowering action aids in reducing the breast pain and tenderness some women experience prior to menstruation, even if they have no other premenstrual symptoms.

Chasteberry or vitex has also been shown to to help in getting rid of acne related to menstruation. It also helps in treating hot flashes in menopause. Its abilities are further enhanced by combining chasteberry and black cohosh.
