Agnus castus has been used for thousands of years for its beneficial
affect on the female hormonal system. Modern research has confirmed
this use, the seeds being used to restore balanced functioning to the
female reproductive system.
The seeds and fruits are anaphrodisiac, aphrodisiac, galactogogue,
ophthalmic, sedative, stomachic, women's complaints. Prolonged usage
restores corpus luteum function.
The berries of this plant have a range of medicinal actions but
possibly the most important is its ability to rectify hormonal
imbalances caused by an excess of oestrogen and an insufficiency of
progesterone. It acts upon the pituitary gland, reducing the production
of certain hormones and increasing the production of others, shifting
the balance in favour of the gestagens. Thus it has a wide application
of uses in malfunctions of the feminine reproductive system and has
been used with great effect in restoring absent menstruation,
regulating heavy periods, restoring fertility when this is caused by
hormonal imbalance, relieving pre-menstrual tension and easing the
change of the menopause. Some caution is advised since excessive doses
can cause a nervous disorder known as formication, which manifests as a
sensation of insects crawling over the skin.
The berries are considered to be an aphrodisiac, though other
reports say that they are anaphrodisiac. The reason for this apparent
disagreement is that the berries have a regulating effect on the body
and so are likely to increase sexual activity in those who are not very
active in this area whilst reducing it in those who are very active.
The fresh berries are pounded to a pulp and used in the form of a
tincture for the relief of paralysis, pains in the limbs, weakness etc.
