Chaste Tree Berry Agnusides and Powder: This also called Vitex. This has the effect of stimulation and normalizing pituitary gland functions, especially its progesterone function. Chaste Tree may be called an amphoteric remedy, as it can produce apparently opposite effects (though in truth it is simply normalizing). The greatest use of Chaste Tree 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 in a similar it may be used to aid the body to regain a natural balance after the use of the birth control pill. This is known to help decrease excessive bleeding, and is believed to shrink fibroids, and help calm mood swings.

Here are some quotes from an article "On Vitex" by Medical Botanist Christopher Hobbs: "In 1930 Dr. Gerhard Madaus conducted some of the first scientific research on the plant, and developed a patent medicine from an extract of dried fruits named "Agnolyt". Almost all of the studies on Vitex have been done with this preparation. He found it to have a "strong corpus-luteum" effect, which increases progesterone. Scientists think that it regulates the pituitary gland, which detects increased estrogen levels and tells the ovaries to make less of it."

Recent findings confirm that Chaste Tree helps restore a normal estrogen-to-progesterone balance. It can not only ease, but with time, actually cure premenstrual syndrome, which has been linked to abnormally high levels of estrogen, especially if symptoms tend to disappear when menstruation begins. European herbalists also use it today to treat fibroid tumors and other female complains. As the baby-boom generation passes into menopause, this herb will be rediscovered by women looking for a natural alternative to estrogen replacement therapy.
