Hello and welcome to Old Ways Gardening and Prepping.🍀 Would like to welcome you each on another adventure with us on this beautiful morning. Today we are going to be gathering a very important medicinal herb for women's health. We were blessed to be able to gather beautiful Chaste tree berries also known as Vitex agnus-castus.

This medicinal plant goes by many names such as Chaste tree, Vitex, Monk's pepper, chasteberry, cloister pepper, hemp tree and Texas lilac. It is hardy from Growing Zones 5-9. However in Zones 5-6 it might have to be treated as a perennial due to it dieing back and coming back yearly. It originally came from temperate climates in the Mediterranean and Asia. Chaste tree will grow well in full sun to part shade, though the best flowering occurs in full sun.

Now let's talk about some of the amazing medicinal benefits of the beautiful Chaste tree. It reduces a variety of PMS symptoms including breast pain and tenderness, edema, constipation, irritability, depressed mood, anger, and migraines. It has also shown help for premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a more severe form of PMS. Also it may be effective in the treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome. Widely known to reduce levels of the hormone prolactin and it helps to rebalance hormones like estrogen and progesterone within. Vitex aids immensely in relieving PMS symptoms.

Menopausal symptoms such as mood swings, pelvic discomfort, interrupted sleep, and hot flashes can also be reduced by it's hormone-balancing abilities. Vitex can cause minor side effects like stomach upset or nausea. It should not be taken while pregnant and should not be taken by those using hormonal birth control as well. Due to the fact it increases your natural fertility causing a woman to be more fertile. So use with caution if not wanting to become pregnant.

In men Vitex agnus-castus is also taken by mouth to increase the flow of urine in men, for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and for reducing sexual desire. With this all being said please do your own research to learn more about this herb and is right for you.

Hope this video encourages you to also do more research on the beautiful Chaste or Vitex tree to see if it is right for you. If you have any questions please feel free to ask them in the comment section below I will answer them as soon as possible. Everyone take care and have a blessed day.

Blessings,
Teresa
