Product Story
Chaste; It is a shrub with long green leaves, blue / purple, white / pink flowers and dark purple fruits resembling black pepper, which can grow up to 5-6 meters in length, unique to the Mediterranean and Central Asia geography.
Chaste, which has a long and deep-rooted history in traditional medicine, is frequently included in the works of Dioscorides, Hippocrates and Homer. In Greek mythology, it is said that Hera was born under a chaste tree. It is known that chaste was used as an effective anaphrodisiac in the Middle Ages and carried by priests in order to suppress sexual desire. This is why it is also called "monk's pepper." Due to the flexibility and durability of its branches, it is used in making baskets in Western Anatolia.
