Agnus castus is traditionally used to help menopausal and menstrual symptoms. Agnus castus is thought to increase the production of progesterone which counteracts the high levels of oestrogen that cause menstrual symptoms, such as; Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), breast tenderness, fluid retention, and heavy, painful periods. Agnus castus has also been used for teenage acne in both boys and girls. This herb is meant for long term use and will need to be taken for longer than a few weeks to see results.
Precautions: Agnus castus may interfere with other hormone medication, such as: HRT and oral contraceptives.
