Chaste Tree (also commonly known as Vitex agnus-castus) has traditionally been used for the temporary relief of pre-menstrual tension and associated conditions such as fluid retention, headaches, crampy periods and sore breasts. This herb exerts an effect on the pituitary gland which is most receptive in the early morning. The main action of this herb is to correct hormonal imbalances, particularly oestrogen dominance.
Chaste Tree is most effective taken in the second half of the menstrual cycle when low progesterone levels can cause PMT symptoms and contribute to the difficulties with conception. Chaste Tree may also be beneficial in assisting female hormonal acne.
