Vitex relieves premenstrual tension

Although premenstrual symptoms vary from woman to woman, one common symptom is breast tenderness.1 Vitex, or chaste tree, is used traditionally in Western herbal medicine to decrease symptoms of premenstrual tension, including breast tenderness.

Period pain relief

Many women are also no stranger to period pain, which is usually most painful leading up to and at the start of a period.2 It tends to be felt in the lower abdomen but may extend to the lower back and legs.2

According to traditional use in Western herbal medicine, taking vitex relieves period pain.
