Vitex agnus-castus

Vitex agnus-castus is a plant that helps some people with things like PMS and other lady problems. It's also called the "chasteberry plant". It's a pretty plant with flowers, and it grows in some parts of the world. People can make medicine out of the plant, which they take by mouth. This medicine might help to make lady hormones more balanced. When hormones are balanced, that means that they aren't too much or too little, which can make people feel better overall. When people take this plant medicine, they might feel fewer cramps, mood swings, and other uncomfortable lady symptoms. It can take a little bit of time for the medicine to work, so it's important to not give up too quickly or expect to feel better right away.
