Vitex Agnus Cactus

Vitex is also known as Chaste Berry and Monks Pepper. It is native to the Mediterranean.
I purchased my Vitex Bush from Jekka's Herb Farm last year. I was keen to have a go at growing Vitex and Clary Sage in my garden. The Vitex after looking quite dead for a long while has started to grow and I am really pleased it has. (Although worryingly the leaves look a bit like a Cannabis plant!)
My interest in this herb is mainly for it's use in helping to regulate the menstrual cycle and relieve symptoms associated with PMS. Hopefully this would also help with some fertility and menopause issues.

I will be trying it on myself and a few other willing volunteers to see what they think!

What Our Clients Are Saying

''At a stressful time Emma helped me to relax in a calm and lovely setting with hypnotherapy. This was followed later with a fertility massage which I also found very relaxing and felt like taking a pro active step in my fertility journey. One month later I'm pregnant! I couldn't recommend Emma more highly and she wasn't the first therapist I'd tried." LL, Bristol 2018
