Reviving Vitex Essential Oil is currently touted as a powerful balancer of female energy. Also known as Chaste Tree, this hearty herb was thought to purify bodies and spirits. Steam distilled from the berries of the Vitex tree, Ancient Athenian women would ceremoniously imbibe on this valuable berry, which was said to make them pure and chaste.

Native to Mediterranean climates, the vital Vitex shrub is written in the works of Pliny the Elder, Dioscorides, in Homer's The Iliad, and recommended by Hippocrates to balance maiden-mother-maven cycles. Traditionally, Vitex Essential Oil has been used in aromatherapy to harmonize the body throughout all moon phases.

"Vitex is now available as an essential oil, either from the leaf or the seed (stronger activity). It can be used externally, but start out slowly as women report differing results of activity levels."
