Vitex is a pinky-purple flowered shrub with round, black berries that is commonly found in southern Europe and along the Mediterranean basin. Women have utilized vitex berries since ancient times to balance their reproductive system. Dioscorides, the Greek doctor, wrote about chaste berries approximately 2,000 years ago. He referred to it by its Latin name, agnus castus, which means “chaste lamb.” He referred to a property of the seeds that was listed at that time: when consumed as a beverage, it was said to decrease sexual desire. This has not been confirmed by modern studies. Current studies have not shown vitex affecting sexual vitality, but they have confirmed that vitex exercises an influence on women’s cycles. Vitex changes how the hypothalamus and pituitary gland activities in order to assist in regulating and balancing female hormone production. Current research suggests that vitex is involved in the restriction of the release of prolactin.
