- The fruit of the plant (chaste tree is actually a plant) is used in phytotherapy and gives off a pleasant pepperment-like smell.
- Agnus Castus acts on the pituitary gland to increase the secretion of luteinising hormone, which leads to an increase in the production of progesterone during the second half of the menstrual cycle.

- Both these actions are thought to be important in PMS, particularly as many who suffer with the problem have a greater sensitivity to prolactin.
