What is chaste tree (Vitex agnus-castus) used for in herbal medicine?
Vitex agnus-castus, known as chaste tree or monk's pepper, has been used in herbal medicine for centuries to support hormonal balance in women. Its dried berries influence the pituitary gland, helping to regulate the menstrual cycle and relieve PMS symptoms. Today it is a common ingredient in standardized supplements for cycle disorders and menopausal complaints.

Paired with the Sony ILCE-1 and its 50-megapixel sensor, photo ID 9339442 delivers fine floral detail alongside a painterly, swirling background.
