COMBINATIONS with Agnus Castus 

You may also see Agnus Castus combined with other herbs in agnus castus combination products such as for the menopause. (It could also be for help with monthly periods.) It often happens that a combination of herbs will be more effective than a single herb. There are a number of agnus castus combination products. Find a product which works for you - either the single herb or a combination of herbs - and then continue with it for a full course of treatment.

CAUTIONS
Do not take Agnus Castus during pregnancy; and it would be wise to avoid it when taking any other product or drug which affects the female hormone system - such as HRT or the contraceptive pill.

Reports of negative reactions to Agnus Castus are few. About one in 50 people may experience mild indigestion, or a mild skin rash. If this happens, stop taking the herb, temporarily, then re-introduce it more slowly.

KEEPING A RECORD OF YOUR HEALTH
As always where your health is concerned - keep a record. Note in a diary how you are feeling when taking Agnus Castus or an Agnus Castus combination. This is often very useful when deciding how beneficial a treatment has been. It can also be helpful information for a practitioner, should you consult one.
