Chaste Tree Berry, also known as Chasteberry or Vitex Berry, is the dried fruit of the Vitex agnus-castus shrub — a traditional botanical treasured for its long-standing use in women’s wellness and herbal formulations.
With its earthy, peppery and slightly bitter character, Chaste Tree Berry is often used in herbal teas, decoctions, tinctures and capsule blends. It is especially popular in traditional botanical preparations focused on women’s cycle support, hormonal wellbeing, PMS-related wellness blends and menopause support.
Chaste Tree Berry is one of those classic “small but powerful” botanicals — not flashy, not sweet, but deeply valued by herbalists for its traditional role in female wellness. It blends beautifully with herbs such as red raspberry leaf, nettle, lady’s mantle, yarrow, ginger, cinnamon, lemon balm and rooibos.
Whether you are formulating a women’s wellness tea, creating a traditional herbal tincture, or developing a natural botanical blend, Chaste Tree Berry is a beautiful addition to your herbal ingredient collection.

How to Use
For a herbal tea or decoction, lightly crush ½–1 teaspoon of Chaste Tree Berry and add to 1 cup of hot water. Steep for 10–15 minutes, or gently simmer for a stronger decoction. Strain well before drinking.
For tinctures or capsule formulations, follow a trusted herbal formulation guide and use correct preparation methods.
Chaste Tree Berry has a naturally peppery, bitter taste, so it is often blended with softer, more aromatic herbs to create a more pleasant flavour.
