As with all herbal products or supplements, side effects can occur with use of Agnus castus. The frequency of these side effects is not known – this means it is not known how often these reactions occur as there have not been enough reports to allow this information to be calculated.
Possible side effects resulting from use of Agnus castus are:
Agnus castus is also sometimes known by scientists as Vitex agnus castus and because of this, some refer to it simply as Vitex. It is a shrub which grows up to 5m in height with delicate lavender or violet flowers. The plant grows mainly in the Mediterranean, although it also thrives in sub-tropical regions of Africa and the USA.
It is the fruit from the plant which is used medicinally. This use has been recorded since the time of Hippocrates. It was believed to be an anti-aphrodisiac, which explains some of the common names applied to Agnus castus including ‘Chaste Tree’, ‘Monk’s Pepper’ and ‘Chasteberry’.
1. How long will I need to take Agnus castus before I see an effect?
This varies from one person to another. Some women report an improvement in symptoms within the first month, but you may need to take Agnus castus for 3 months for the best results to be evident.
See your doctor if your symptoms persist, worsen or do not improve after 3 months.
2. I am on the Pill – is it ok for me to use Agnus castus?
No, anyone using hormonal contraceptives, whether the Pill, an injection, an implant or the Mirena coil, should not use herbs such as Agnus castus that affect hormone levels.
3. Is there anyone else who can’t take Agnus castus?
