Certified Organic Red Raspberry Leaf Summary

We think that red raspberry leaves are some of the yummiest tasting of all herbal remedies (a lot like black tea), but with no caffeine. We also believe that women (ALL women) should drink red raspberry tea. Here’s why…

Reasons for all Women to Drink Red Raspberry Leaf Tea

• High in many nutrients including calcium, iron, magnesium, and vitamin C.
• Strengthens the uterus
• Regulates menstrual cycles
• Can decrease heavy cycles
• Reduce menstrual cramps

Reasons for Moms-to-Be to Drink Red Raspberry Leaf Tea

• Relieves morning sickness
• Makes labor easier and often faster
• Lessens postpartum bleeding
• Reduces afterpains

According to Rosemary Gladstar, author of Herbal Healing for Women, “Four herbs are particularly recommended by experienced herbalists and have been used safely by pregnant women for centuries. Rich in vitamins and minerals, red raspberry leaf, nettles, alfalfa, and dandelion act as system supporting tonics for overall health of the expectant mother.”

Red raspberry leaf, taken as a tea or in capsule form, strengthens the uterus, alleviates morning sickness, eases labor and delivery as well as postpartum discomforts, and aids in milk productions.

Precautions: Women with a history of miscarriage should not use this herb until the second trimester.1 We always recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
