Botanical Name: Vitex agnus castus

Common Names: Chaste Tree Fruit, Monk's Pepper, Agnolyt, Gattilier, Abraham’s Balm.

Folk Name: ''Chasteberry''

Magical Folk Uses:  Fertility magick, brings balance to ones sexual energies; stops unwanted advances from the opposite sex.

The names Monk's Pepper and Chasteberry give us an idea of how this plant was thought to function. During the Middle Ages, monks would sprinkle ground Vitex, which has a slightly peppery taste, on their food. They did this not only for the flavor but also because they believed it could help reduce their sexual desires.

Medicinal Folk Uses:  In ancient medicine, Chasteberry was used to treat a range of conditions such as premenstrual discomfort, menstrual irregularities, and to support women's reproductive health. It was also believed to have a role in promoting fertility, reducing the risk of miscarriage, and aiding lactation. Additionally, Chasteberry was used to manage symptoms related to menopause and to address skin issues like acne. Its historical uses were primarily centered around women's health and hormonal balance.

Chasteberry can be seen as an amphoteric remedy, causing seemingly opposite effects that actually help restore balance. For example, it's known to act as both an aphrodisiac and an anaphrodisiac!

For women aiming to conceive, Chasteberry can help regulate the ovulatory cycle. Studies suggest that it might begin balancing things within 10 days, but for the best results, it's recommended to take it for three cycles or more.

Today, Vitex is mostly used by women, but it can also be useful for men dealing with cystic acne or severe insomnia.

Can be brewed as an herbal tea, tinctured, or cracked and sprinkled over food for a peppery spice.
