Agnus Castus – The Hormone Balancer

Agnus castus may sound like a character from an Agatha Christie murder mystery but it is in fact far from sinister.

Agnus castus is a widely researched herb which has been shown to have good hormone balancing properties in women. It achieves this by:

  1. Increasing progesterone production.
  2. Decreasing oestrogen production.

It can be particularly helpful in the management of:

  1. Frequent heavy periods.
  2. Pre-menstrual symptoms.
  3. Menopausal disturbances.

In addition, Agnus castus has been shown to promote a relaxing and calming effect.
