Chaste Tree Vitex Essential Oil Profile General -
Vitex agnus-castus, also called
Vitex, Chaste Tree, Chasteberry,
Abraham's Balm or Monk's Pepper, is a native of the
Mediterranean region. It is one of the few
temperate-zone species of
Vitex, which is on the whole a genus of
tropical and sub-tropical flowering plants.
Theophrastus mentioned the shrub several times, as
agnos ((άγνος) in Enquiry into PlantsVitex, its name in Pliny the Elder, is
derived from the Latin vieo, meaning to weave
or to tie up, a reference to the use of f Vitex agnus-castus
in basketry. Its
macaronic specific name repeats "chaste" in both
Greek and Latin.

Chaste Tree Vitex Oil Uses -
The berries are considered a tonic herb for both the male and
female reproductive systems. The leaves are believed to have the
same effect but to a lesser degree. In ancient times it was believed
to be an anaphrodisiac, hence the name chaste tree. Pliny, in his
Historia Naturalis, reports the use of stems and leaves of this
plant by women as bedding "to cool the heat of lust" during the time of
the Thesmophoria, when Athenian women left their husband's beds to
remain ritually chaste. At the end of the thirteenth century John
Trevisa reports of it "the herbe agnus-castus is always grene, and the
flowre therof is namly callyd Agnus Castus, for wyth smel and vse it
maketh men chaste as a lombe" Chaucer, in "The Flower and the Leaf,"
refers to it as an attribute of the chaste Diana, and in the 16th
century the English herbalist William Turner reports the same
anaphrodisiac properties of the seed, both fried and not fried. More
recently, this plant has been called monk's pepperr
