Chaste Tree (Vitex) Essential Oil

Chaste Tree (Vitex) Essential Oil
Vitex agnus-castus | Leaves & Berries | Steam Distilled | Origin: Turkey

Chaste Tree (Vitex) Essential Oil is steam distilled from the leaves and berries of Vitex agnus-castus, a Mediterranean shrub revered for its hormone balancing properties. With a warm, spicy woody scent and gentle yin energetics, this oil has a long history in women’s health and reproductive care.

Clinical research supports its traditional uses for a wide range of hormonal concerns, from PMS symptoms like mood swings, breast tenderness, and fluid retention, to menstrual irregularities, fertility issues, and menopausal discomforts such as hot flashes and emotional shifts. It is also associated with regulating prolactin levels, supporting low progesterone states, and easing transitions off hormone replacement therapy.

Many women have reported noticeable improvements in vaginal tone, cognitive clarity, and emotional stability with regular use of Chaste Tree essential oil. Though effects may take 4 - 6 weeks to fully develop, others experience relief much sooner, particularly through inhalation for hormonal headaches or night sweats.
