Vitex Powder (Chasteberry)

Description

Chasteberry Powder (Vitex) also known as Vitex agnus-castus, is the fruit of the chaste tree, which is native to western Asia and southwestern Europe

Chasteberry is a known medicinal wonder of nature extracted from a shrub tree called the chastetree. These trees are known to grow in sub-tropical regions. Because these trees adhere to the lavish sun life, they can be found in regions where it’s a bit sunny. You can find some of them in Asia and the Southeastern parts of the United States of America.

Chasteberry Powder  is a household name for reproductive health. Women who suffer from debilitating symptoms of menstrual periods and menopause turn to chasteberry for help. Some of the reproductive disorders are due to hormonal imbalance. Chasteberry works through its influence in hormonal activities. Chasteberries mellow out the hormonal imbalance, which helps a lot in combating reproductive health disorders.

Unfortunately, hormonal imbalance causes acne flare-ups. Acne that is found in chins and below the jawline is usually caused by hormonal imbalance. There are instances that hormonal imbalance adds up to the flare-ups caused by bacteria and the overproduction of sebum. These pimples are not cutie pie in size, and they are humungous and painful.

Chasteberries might help diminish acne through its influence over your hormones. Although this is yet to be proven by science, it makes so much sense if you think about it. Plus, anecdotes have been recorded about its effect on skin health. These anecdotes include skin clear ups, glowing skin, controlled oil production, and more. Before delving into its magical skin prowess, let’s get to know a little more about Chasteberry.
