Raspberry Leaf, Wild (Dried)

Raspberry Leaf Dried  (Rubus spp)
 
Red Raspberry Leaf is perhaps one of the most historically venerated herbal uterine tonics. It is used during pregnancy to strengthen the uterus, improve labor outcome, and prevent excessive bleeding after birth. Its use continues to be highly popular. When we harvest the leaves we use gloves and just run our hand up the stem. You will have a nice handful of leaves in your hand. It is an easy leaf to dry, as it has very little moisture. Myself, I drink at least a cup of tea a week, even though my childbearing days are far behind me. I feel this helps to nourish my uterus and keeps it happy.
 
Traditionally known as *the* fertility/uterine/pregnancy tonic, the minerals and vitamins in Red Raspberry nourish the reproductive systems in women (and men!) of all ages. Regular use of red raspberry regulates hormones and menstrual rhythms. Rich in calcium, it's also good for bones and the nervous system.
