More about Chasteberry:
Indigenous to the Mediterranean region, the chaste tree–actually a small shrub that blossoms with violet flowers and reddish black berries. This is now found in subtropical climates around the globe. During the colder seasons, its ripe berries are dried and used medicinally. Similar to peppercorns in appearance, chaste berries also have a peppery taste. Other common names for this herb include vitex, monk’s pepper, and chaste tree berry. Since the time of Hippocrates, chaste berry has been recommended for menstrual complaints. Although it contains no hormones or hormone-like substances, the herb influences hormonal activity by stimulating the pituitary gland at the base of the brain to produce more luteinizing hormone (LH). This, in turn, signals the ovaries to produce more of the hormone progesterone. Chaste berry also acts to lower elevated levels of a second pituitary hormone, prolactin, which is involved in breast-milk production.
