Chaste Tree Berries
Agnus castus
Considered to be a hormone balancer. Chasteberry has the effect of stimulation and normalizing pituitary gland functions, especially its progesterone function. It may be called an amphoteric remedy, as it can produce apparently opposite effects though in truth it is simply normalizing. The greatest use of Chasteberry lies in normalizing the activity of female sex hormones and it is thus indicated for dysmenorrhoea, premenstrual stress and other disorders related to hormone function. It is especially beneficial during menopausal changes and has been used to help with PMS. In a similar way it may be used to aid the body to regain a natural balance after the use of the birth control pill.
