Chaste Tree Berry

Description

May be used to relieve premenstrual cramps and excessive bleeding and fibroid tumors; Used to start a normal menstrual cycle after discontinuing birth control; Used to quiet sexual appetites.

The berries of this shrub or small tree, growing wild and cultivated as an ornamental around the Mediterranean sea, are used for relief of premenstrual symptoms, excessive bleeding, fibroid tumors due to hormonal imbalance; to start the normal menstrual cycle again after discontinuing birth control tablets, for the flow of milk in nursing mothers and for menopausal torments.

Additionally, the berries have been used, since ancient Greek times, to quiet sexual appetites. It is this diversity of function that leads to the conclusion that Chaste Tree Berries must act as an adaptogen, that is to say, function in several discretionary ways depending on what is found and needed, interacting with the internal physical and emotional environment of the person.

Otherwise, herbalists could not recommend, with success, Chaste Tree Berries, for such diverse and apparently conflicting reasons [what is needed during menopause is not what is needed for premenstrual symptoms, nor what is needed to quiet sexual desire].

Suggested use 
40 to 80 drops 1 to 3 times per day. Additionally, may apply similar amounts externally to the lower abdomen and or breasts.
