Product Description ------------------- Product: Agnus Castus Latin Name: Vitex agnus-castus Family: Lamiaceae Other Names: Vitex, Chaste Tree, Chasteberry & Monk’s Pepper. Description: Native to the Mediterranean and western Asia, agnus castus is a deciduous aromatic shrub reaching 3-5 metres in height. It has 5 to 7 lobed, palmate leaves which are cross-wise site. The flowers are tubular and occur in shades of violet, blue, pink and white, after the flowers fade they trun into dark peppercorn like fruits. Brief History: The Latin name ‘Vitex’ is derived from the Latin word vieo meaning to weave or to tie up. Athenian women took part in a ceremony which went on for 8 days, this ‘Thesmophori’ was a fertility festival given to honour the goddess Demeter. The women decorated themselves with the flowers of agnus castus and placed the leaves in their beds to help preserve their chastity. Medieval monks used the to suppress their sexual urges as agnus castus was believed to have anaphrodisiac properties, hence the name Monk’s Pepper.
