INFORMATION: Feeling a lust for life? According to ancient Roman author Pliny the Elder, in his work Historia Naturlis, elements of the Chaste Tree (Latin: Fructus vitex agnus-castus) could be used to "cool the heat of lust" during religious festivals. Allowing people to stay 'chaste'.
That said, there may have been some truth to the claim. According to natural science, when taken internally, chaste tree berries may promote the release of luteinizing hormone in the body. This in turn may increase levels of progesterone - a naturally occurring compound that pertains to the regulation of the menstrual cycle.
As such, some natural health practitioners believe that including Chaste Tree Seeds in the diet may help ease the effects of premenstrual stress syndrome. Through this same function—progesterone production—it is also thought to offer relief for migraine headaches and joint pain.
We're pleased to offer these organically grown, Organic Chaste Seeds, for inclusion in custom tea and herbal blends. Here's to your health!
Best practices should be to consult a doctor before you consume chaste tree berries if you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or trying to get pregnant. Always tell your health care provider about any natural products you may be taking.
