Vitex Agnus-Castus

Vitex agnus-castus, often referred to as vitex, is a shrub that originates from the Mediterranean and has been shown to help alleviate premenstrual symptoms, cycle irregularities and adverse menopausal symptoms. It is thought to be the most important herb in relation to helping PMS.

Vitex is extremely helpful in restoring a normal balance of hormones. Results from a recent survey among Medical Herbalists backed the use of vitex in the treatment of hormone imbalance syndromes among young and menopausal women.
