Chasteberry / Vitex Agnus Castus

Why are herbs always referred to in this forum by their common name, except the above which is generally referred to by it's botanical name, or at least a part of it's botanical name?

Probably because people don't like the idea of being chaste as suggested by the common name and they therefore opt for the latin name instead (or some part of the latin name).

The strange thing about this herb is not people's preference for the botanical name, but the fact that it has been such a popular herb for so long without anyone appearing to notice that it influences breast size. Given that it's one of the world's most popular herbs, I would have expected that any tendency for it to increase breast size would be well known.

With Jennelle on this one,, why has vitex not been discovered as a breast enlarger before this??? I had never heard of it before these posts in the last couple of months. And I don't remember seeing it in breast formulas. Its not even widely promoted for a women's fix all supplement (at least not here) like EPO or wild yam or dong quai. so I have to wonder about this too!!

Yes,, vitex

Is easy to remember!! But with all the breast enhancement formulas popping out of the states,,,( I'm in Canada) A person would think that they would use it more in their products. My local health food store couldn't even get it with 400mgs. I had to order from British Columbia for it. I'm in Ontario. But sometimes I think that western cultures are still far behind Europe when it comes to herbs!!! Just a thought and just my opinion!!!

Vitex tends to not work when taken with other herbs, so that explaines the lack of it in commercial products. As for its individual reputation as a herb, good question.

The reason was that the herb did not become popular on this forum until one poster said it increased her breast size, and used the name Agnus Castus. After that, the name stuck, although before, I remember it being referred to as chasteberry on various occasions.
