Chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus), also known as vitex or monk's pepper, is a shrub from the mint family whose small, pepper-like fruits have been known as a herb for women since antiquity. Botanically, it belongs to the Mediterranean woody plants; its constituents include iridoids, flavonoids and diterpenes among others.
