Chasteberry
Chasteberry can be used for maintaining the normal hormonal actions and balancing physical and psychological menstrual symptons of horses and dogs.
Chasteberry, also know as Monk's Pepper, is a hormone-balancing* herb. It is used for hormonal problems, such as to facilitate and to settle the rutting mares, as well as the symptoms of irregular menstrual cycle and ease the crankiness.
Supporting the progesterone level is extremely helpful in counteracting the irritability and unpredictability that can happen with mares “in season”, making them more comfortable, cooperative and easier to handle. Can also be used for overly aggressive stallions and geldings.
Can be used together with devil´s claw and chamomile.
