Abstract

At present, the use of medicinal plants for soft influence on hormonal disorders of the female reproductive system remains relevant. It has long been noted that Vitexagnus-castus is able to exert physiological effects similar to that of sex hormones, such as reducing male libido and alleviating the symptoms of female mastalgia. The dopaminergic activity of Vitexagnus-castusL. was proved and the possibility of influencing the opioid system was also described in the literature. It is also able to provide antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic action and also affect cognitive functions due to various classes of secondary metabolites of Vitex agnus-castus, such as flavonoids, iridoids, terpenoids.
