Agnus castus

[clarey]

Hi all,

Just wanted to share this with everyone. I went to see a gp about a month ago about this and that and how I felt I had a hormone imbalance as I was still having milk production etc etc. She is into alternative remedies and suggested Agnus castus as I also want a bit of help in the baby-production dept

Now before reading about it I have always believed that low progesterone has an important role to play in PNI. I have taken it faithfully for this month and I was no-where near as bad PMT-wise (no baby though unfortunately). Especially with the depression and obsessional thoughts as well as sore boobs etc etc. She thought 6 months for optimum effect but I noticed a positive effect already and the milk seems to have stopped!

Having done a bit of reading about it, it functions by acting on the pituitary gland to stimulate progesterone production and reduce oestrogen. I will continue to take it and keep you all informed on its effects. However so far so good,

Clareyxx

Clarey,

Thanks for sharing hun.

I have heard that agnus cactus regulates the female hormones as well. I think you can get it together with B-vits and evening primrose, is this what you are taking, or have you found agnus cactus on it's own and what dose are you taking?
