Menoberry is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Chaste berry (Vitex agnus castus) grows naturally in Western Asia and Southwestern Europe. It is commonly used for gynecological disorders, and this is linked to its central dopaminergic activity. In Europe it has been used widely for conditions such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS), cyclical breast discomfort, menstrual cycle irregularities and dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
The main active constituents of chaste berry are iridoid glycosides such as agnuside and aucubin, and flavonoids such as casticin. It acts as a hormonal modulator. Through its corpus luteum hormone effect, it raises progesterone levels and lowers estrogen levels. Its central action is at the pituitary gland, where it inhibits the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), promotes the release of luteinizing hormone (LH), and decreases prolactin secretion through a dopamine antagonistic effect.
Chaste berry is also used for fibrocystic breast, insufficient lactation, corpus luteum insufficiency, acne vulgaris, and prevention of miscarriage in the first trimester of pregnancy in cases of progesterone insufficiency.
