Abstract
Vitex agnus caustus is a well known herb for women in Europe. It is originally grown in Italy Greece and the surrounding area of the Mediterranean Sea. Vitex restores balance to the female hormonal system effective to such disorders as depression, cramps, swings, water retention, weight gain etc. Consequently, Vitex also helps ease the symptoms of menopaus and stimulate milk production of mothers.
The author collected Vitex agnus castus in Golan Height and subjected to a screening test for anti-human cancer activity along with other 60 plants. Vitex showed remarkable results.
The author also tried to examine this plant for various human cancers in vitro which also led to satisfactory results.
Thus, the well known herb is also proved to be effective for cancers, especially for breast, uterus and ovary cancers.
Vitex is a well known health food in Europe and the Middle East and no bad side effect observed for the past 2000 years. Therefore, it will not be so difficult to use Vitex also in Japan if we determine its proper amount by means of Bi-Digital ORing Test originally developed by Prof.Omura, Y., New York.
