Vitex agnus-castus
Origin: Australia
Chasteberry is frequently utilized by natural health practitioners to reduce a male’s testosterone levels and to control hormone imbalances in females. It’s recognized for its usefulness in treating menstrual problems, PMS, menopausal symptoms including hot flashes, breast tenderness and disposition swings, infertility and reduced production of milk in lactating females. Because of its anti-androgen activity, Chasteberry has been employed as a natural nutritional supplement to lower testosterone in transgenders (in male to female), and to suppress the beginning of prostate cancer that is also related to high testosterone levels. Its anti-androgen activity could also help get rid of acne, and reduce Hirsutism (excessive hair growth) in girls.
