Will Agnus castus help with my periods?

Agnus castus is a licensed herbal remedy that can help to relieve symptoms of PMS such as menstrual cramps, breast tenderness, bloating, irritability and mood swings. Therefore, it can be a good choice for women who have particularly heavy or painful periods, perhaps those with shorter cycles too (meaning you get your period every 28 days or sooner).

If your periods are light or you generally have a longer cycle (more than 28 days) then it might not be the right remedy for you.

Kind regards,

Emma
