Adolescence and female adulthood are often accompanied by hormonal variations that can cause real discomfort on a daily basis. Chaste tree, an ancient Mediterranean plant, has been used since Antiquity to support hormonal balance. Its dried berries are recognized in phytotherapy for relieving symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, improving cycle regularity and reducing tension linked to hormonal variations.
Thanks to its active components (flavonoids, diterpenes, iridoids...), chasteberry acts on the pituitary gland by modulating prolactin secretion and promoting progesterone production. This effect helps rebalance irregular menstrual cycles and limit unpleasant symptoms such as fatigue, bloating, irritability and headaches. It is also used to treat neuro-vegetative disorders, including digestive disturbances, dizziness, spasms, anxiety and insomnia.
Chasteberry is also recognized for soothing cyclical breast pain, often associated with premenstrual syndrome. By reducing breast sensitivity and tension, it offers greater comfort during the luteal phase. This use has been validated by several European phytotherapy authorities, including Commission E and ESCOP.
Some research is also exploring its value in cases of corpus luteum insufficiency, where progesterone secretion is too low and can be a cause of functional sterility. Although promising, these data still require further study. Chaste tree has also been traditionally used to support sleep quality, moderate appetite and in certain skin conditions such as hormonal acne. While not all these indications have yet been scientifically validated, they illustrate the richness of this medicinal plant.
Chasteberry is a valuable natural resource for promoting regular, less painful cycles, supporting female hormonal balance, soothing premenstrual disorders and improving overall well-being.
To reinforce this action, it can be combined with Iphym Herboristerie's Cut Raspberry Leaf (Rubus idaeus L.), renowned for its support of the gynaecological sphere.
Directions for use
Chaste tree dosage depends on the preparation, but generally corresponds to the equivalent of 28 to 52 mg of dried berries per day.
However, chasteberry berries are best prepared as a decoction of one teaspoon per cup for 5 minutes. Drink 3 cups a day.
Treatment should be continued for several weeks, or even cycles, before the full effects are felt. Use should always be under medical supervision, in order to adapt duration and dose to specific needs.
