@mariia_white: Wanted to make my skin better, but made it worse 🥲 Or my story with Vitex - a herb to balance pms symptoms. Vitex (Agnus Cactus, chasteberry) is a herb that is usually prescribed as a supplement to improve pms symptoms during the luteal phase. It increases progesterone & decreases estrogen. My female doctor recommended me this supplement to take for 3 month, only 4 mg per day. I decided that it would be perfect for me as I had low progesterone in the past & my acne was blooming before my period. But I was able to take it only for 2 weeks because I stated to deal with side effects: Extreme acne worsening 😥 now it looks like it was before accutane. Bloating. Mood swings. + the only positive effect - bigger breasts 😅 but it’s not so important compared to the issues I have gotten. I’m not taking it anymore obviously, since today. I don’t know how long it will take for me to recover my skin. But I’m proud of myself that I stopped taking it early, without waiting for a miracle. Important: that’s only my story, not a medical advise! Vitex helps many women worldwide but sadly it wasn’t my case. And never take this herb with no consultation.
