[Vitex] Agnus castus [ Hebrew name: Siach Avraham]
In the past I wrote you about this “female herb” which by the way was also used by male catholic priests…….for other reasons.
The herb is effective for PMS [ various symptoms before the menstruation, like painful breasts, moodiness, irritable, tiredness , etc……..poor husband !] and for various menstruation disturbances [heavy menstruation, irregular menstruation]
It can balance the hormonal situation at the time of menopause and sometimes can restore an already disappeared / disappearing menstruation.
It is often used to help becoming pregnant [and I have seen this on more than a single occasion ,but of course one never can tell for sure if this was the agnus castus or if the “time was there”…….. to become pregnant.
It can be used for disturbed menstruation after use of the “Pill” [which I don’t advise anyone!]
The dose depends on the kind of tincture/capsule etc one is using.
I often advise to take 30 to 40 drops in the morning in water, but more maybe possible /necessary .
It is an extreme safe herb and can be used for months or even years.
It is -notwithstanding excellent literature-hardly known / used in conventional medicine.
