Agnus Castus – Vitex
Vitex Agnus castus has been used since ancient times as a female remedy. One of its properties was to reduce sexual desire and it is recorded that Roman wives whose husbands were abroad with the legions spread the aromatic leaves on their couches for this purpose. It became known as the chasteberry tree. During the Middle Ages, Chasteberry’s supposed effect on sexual desire led to it becoming a food spice at monasteries, where it was called “Monk’s pepper” or “Cloister pepper.”
