Vitex (Vitex agnus-castus), commonly known as Sauzgatillo, is a traditional Mediterranean herb valued for its long history of use in women's herbal wellness. The berries have been used for generations in botanical traditions that support menstrual well-being and overall reproductive balance.
Vitex is often incorporated into long-term herbal wellness protocols and is traditionally used consistently over time rather than occasionally.
Handcrafted and packaged in Puerto Rico.
