How to Use Chasteberry for Menstrual Health

Chasteberry is the fruit of the chaste tree, a tree indigenous to Asia and the Mediterranean. The name is thought to be created by the false notion that chasteberry decreases sexual desire. Chasteberry has been used for centuries to treat women's menstrual problems.
