Vitex agnus-castus with Christopher Hobbs
Vitex agnus-castus with Christopher Hobbs
🌿 Meet Vitex agnus-castus
Known as chaste tree berry, Vitex has a long tradition of use in women’s health, dating back to ancient Greece and Rome. The berries support the body’s natural hormonal rhythms and are often used to help regulate menstrual balance, ease PMS symptoms, encourage fertility, and support the transition through menopause.
💡 How it works
Vitex acts on the pituitary gland, gently influencing the balance of estrogen and progesterone—helping the body restore its own natural rhythm over time.
🍇 Traditional Preparation
The berries are most often taken as tincture or capsule, though herbal teas can also be made.
🌱 A reminder: Vitex works gradually and is most effective when taken consistently over several months.

Pulsatilla with Christopher Hobbs
Meet Pulsatilla 🌸
Also known as wind flower, this gentle remedy has long been used in traditional herbal medicine for emotional balance and physical relief.
Often called upon for mood swings, weepiness, and hormonal imbalances, Pulsatilla supports those who feel emotionally sensitive or out of sorts — especially during hormonal shifts like PMS or menopause.
It’s also traditionally used for respiratory complaints, sinus congestion, and earaches that feel worse in warm rooms and better in fresh air.
✨ A plant of softness, sensitivity, and support.
