Chaste Tree Berries, Whole, Organic 1 lb
A fragrant, apothecary-grade berry offering made with 100% organic whole chaste tree berries (Vitex agnus-castus).

Their whole-berry form makes them ideal for infusions, tinctures, syrups, and traditional herbal formulations.
🌿 Traditional medicinal usage
Chaste tree berries have been used for centuries, especially in women’s wellness:
-
Traditional European herbalism: prepared in tinctures and infusions to support menstrual comfort, fertility, lactation, and mood balance during hormonal transitions.
-
Traditional Chinese Medicine: included in liver-focused formulas to support energy balance and cyclical regularity.
-
Ayurveda: valued for balancing Vata and Pitta, often used in long-simmered infusions for reproductive and nervous system support.
-
Mediterranean and Indigenous folk medicine: brewed into tonics to support progesterone balance, cycle rhythm, and lactation support.
Historically, vitex was considered a tonic herb for cyclical harmony, often used in bitters, extracts, and slow-brew formulas to gently support the body’s natural rhythm.
✨ Modern uses and benefits
Today, chaste tree berries are widely appreciated in modern herbalism and wellness for:
-
Hormonal balance support: often used for easing cyclical symptoms like mood swings, bloating, and breast tenderness during menstrual and postpartum phases.
-
Menstrual rhythm support: commonly taken to support cycle regularity, especially for those tracking natural hormone patterns.
-
Menopause transition support: frequently used in wellness blends to ease occasional discomfort during hormonal shifts.
-
Skin wellness: modern herbalists include vitex in formulas aimed at supporting clear skin when breakouts correlate with hormone fluctuations.
