A Western equivalent is " Chaste Tree" or Vitex Agnus Castus. A pretty, small tree or large shrub. The seeds regulate the menstrual cycle (in ways as a mere male does not understand something about progesterone/estrogen levels)
Interestingly in the middle Ages it was Called "Monk's Pepper" as the seeds were ground up like pepper and put in the chaste monk's food as an anaphrodisiac (well you try and spell it).
Thus the monks were helped to remain chaste and pure of mind and body.
Do you think there are any marketing possibilities for it?
