Chasteberry Tea - Alvita Herbal

ALVITA HERBAL-CHASTEBERRY TEA -- Ea History: Used for centuries by women, Chasteberry (Vitex agnus castus) is a deciduous bush or tree which is very common in southern Europe and Mediterranean countries. The tree itself is a form of wild lilac, with the same pink-violet, sweet-smelling flowers and arrays of light green, pointed leaves. It is the small, hard berry, somewhat similar to a peppercorn, that is harvested for its beneficial health properties. Referenced in the writings of Hippocrates, Pliny, and Dioscorides, Chasteberry was highly revered, especially for the women. Today, Chasteberry is enjoying a considerable revival due to its unique properties.
