Many people who have used these botanicals report that they relieve anxiety or take the nervous edge off enough to allow an easier transition to sleep and an awakening free of the typical side effects of pharmaceuticals.

Vitex also modulates the secretion of prolactin from the pituitary gland. Early animal studies indicated an increase in lactation and enlargement of the mammary gland following administration of Vitex.7
Current research with Vitex indicates usefulness in hyperprolactinemia. In studies with rats, Vitex was shown to inhibit prolactin release by the pituitary gland - particularly under stress. |

See book keywords and concepts |  There is also evidence for a third principle of action: with its high tannin content, the extract appears to interfere with bacterial and viral adhesion to the surfaces of host cells, thereby disrupting the cycle of infection. This "triple action" provides a rationale for the use of P. sidoides extract in the treatment of acute respiratory tract infections such as acute bronchitis (Kayser and Kolodziej, 1997; Kolodziej and Kayser, 1998; Kayser et al., 2001). |

They use pai chien cao (D. pulchellum) for fevers and malaria (reported in Huang, 1999). African D. adscendens is analgesic and supresses convulsions, seizures, and mortality in mice when induced by chemical poisons (N'gouemo et al., 1996). |

Medical Nemesis. | | Worldwide, sales of herbal medicines (called phytomedicines outside the U.S.) are equally booming, estimated at $12.4 billion for Europe, Japan, Asia, and North America.
