Vitex is a flowering plant that is in the same family as mint and sage. The seed pods are round and black, resembling the pupil of the eye. When growing, it is attached to the stem by a thin branch and resembles the anatomy of an eyeball and optic nerve.

In Chinese Medicine, this herb is used to treat excess conditions of the eyes. It clears wind heat from the eyes, and is used for eye pain, excessive tearing, where the eyes feel bound with heat, or headache. As an essential oil, it can be used in a steam or compress to benefit the eyes.

When applied topically, it leaves a noticeably cooling, dispersing sensation on the skin. It can also be used for joint pain, stiffness, and cramping, much like pine and eucalyptus.

According to modern biomedical research, Vitex can be used to regulate hormone imbalances in the female reproductive system; it promotes the production of progesterone and luteinizing hormone (LH) to modulate estrogen dominance and restore hormone balance. It can be used in irregular menstruation or ovulation, as well as menopause support, to reduce symptoms.
