Organic Chasteberry
(Also called: vitex agnus castus)
Chasteberry has quite a reputation. It is reputed to help with female hormonal imbalances. It stimulates the release of hormones, which help stimulate progesterone production.
Studies have shown that Chasteberry (agnus castus) may help to restore a regular menstrual cycle after the cycle has been disrupted. It can be a good woman's tonic especially combined with wild yam and dong quai.

Vitex
agnus-castus is also known as chaste tree or chasteberry and it is a native
of the Mediterranean. It is a perennial shrub with palm-shaped leaves and
small purple flowers in the summer, which are followed by tiny seeds. The
whole plant is strongly aromatic.
It is often combined with other regulating herbs such as Wild Yam and Dang Gui and forms a great answer to female hormone imbalance fluctuations - see data here.
