VITEX
Vitex has become one of the most widely relied-upon botanicals
in American and European herbalism. Vitex modifies the effect of
the hypothalamus and pituitary glands. Vitex extract helps
regulate and balance female hormone production.
Vitex is also called Chaste Tree, Chaste berry or Monk's Pepper
an genus of about 250 species of shrubs and trees from 1-35 m
tall, native to tropical and subtropical regions throughout the
world. In the past widely included in the family Verbenaceae, it
has recently been transferred to the family Lamiaceae (Labiatae).
Chaste tree is used as an medicinal plant by many herbalists.
The parts used include the chaste tree's leaves, flowers, and
berries. The berries are considered a tonic herb for both the
male and female reproductive systems. The leaves have the same
effect, but to a somewhat lesser degree. The berries are
harvested by gently rubbing the berries loose from the stem. The
leaves, flowers, and/or berries may be consumed as a decoction,
traditional tincture, cider vinegar tincture, syrup, elixir, or
simply
eaten straight off the plant as a medicinal food.
Vitex agnus castus consists of dried ripe fruits of a densely
branched shrub that is indigenous to the Mediterranean and
Central Asia. The commercial crops mainly come from Albania and
Morocco. The plant blooms in the height of the summer and after
pollination develops dark reddish brown to black fruits about
the size of a pepper corn.
It is this dried fruit that is used in medicine today. Middle
Ages medical writers in Europe simply recopied the ancient Greek
and Roman sources, and Vitex was used to treat female disorders.
