acne with vitex?
December 11 2007 at 4:06 AM luckyboobs (Login luckyboobs)
Have any vitex users actually had worse acne when they first started vitex? I've been on it for about 3 weeks now and I'm not sure but it seems like my acne might be a little worse. I'm just wondering if this happened to anyone else that it got worse before it got better. Thanks.

Hi,
mine definitely did. The reaction was only slight during the first 3 months, then on the 3rd month it was very noticeable, and worse than when I was a teenager. I stopped straight away and went on the pill (cilest) - and it cleared up.
I wasn't taking any other herbs. I also grew half an inch though, which has remained permanent. Also, I lost weight around my lower body.
Most people say it clears up acne however. I remember at the time reading that nettle root or SP may help - but it was unnecessary since it went whne I went on the pill

Hi,
I have been two months with vitex and also I have noticed an increase of my acne. In my case, always I have had something of acne although now it's much but. I have the hope of which soon one is going away to diminish.
At the moment I'm not noticing much increase of chest, will hope until the 6 months and I will stop. From that you are taking only vitex, when you began to notice something of increase?
A greeting.

I'm really not sure but I took Vitex Agnus Castus for 3 months and I thought maybe it increased my acne during that time. I'd be interested to hear from any others what happened to their acne when taking this herb.

I increase by half an inch very quickly from 3 months - I htink I took it for 3 and a hlaf months.
Wish I'd continued - but stopped after I got the acne. The half inch remained though (also lost weight).
I am estrogen dominant, and was please about the reduction in hip measurement too.
Apparently it only really gets into the system after 3 months. Although it definitely sorted out my irregular periods and v bad period pains until then. I don't take it now as I'm on BCP and although people say it's ok - I'm not so sure it will mix ok.

Thank you for your responses. I appreciate the info. My skin seems somewhat clearer these last few days so maybe it was a coincidence that it seemed a little worse before or maybe the vitex is starting to do its magic. Whatever the case, I am going to give it some more time and see what happens. Thanks and good luck.
