Raspberry Leaf

The Gentle Herb for Women's Wellness

Discover the nurturing power of Raspberry Leaf (Rubus idaeus), a gentle yet potent herb traditionally revered for its support of women's health and overall well-being. Our carefully harvested and dried Raspberry Leaves offer a delicate, earthy flavor and can be easily incorporated into your daily routine to embrace its potential benefits.   

Aromatic Profile:

Raspberry Leaf offers a mild and pleasant aroma:

• Earthy & Grassy: A subtle, grounding scent reminiscent of dried leaves and earth.
• Slightly Fruity: A very faint hint of sweetness, reminiscent of the raspberry fruit but much milder.
• Herbaceous: A gentle, green herbal note.

Potential Health Benefits:

Raspberry Leaf has a long history of traditional use, particularly for supporting women's reproductive health. Some potential benefits include:   

• Supports Uterine Health: Traditionally used to tone and strengthen the uterine muscles, potentially easing menstrual cramps and supporting a healthy menstrual cycle.   
• May Ease Menstrual Discomfort: The antispasmodic properties may help to relieve muscle spasms and discomfort associated with menstruation.   
• Supports Pregnancy: Often used in the later stages of pregnancy to help prepare the uterus for labor, potentially leading to a smoother and shorter labor. (Consult your healthcare provider before using during pregnancy).   
• Postpartum Support: May help the uterus return to its pre-pregnancy state after childbirth and may aid in breast milk production.   
• Rich in Nutrients: Contains vitamins (like Vitamin C and E), minerals (like calcium, iron, and magnesium), and antioxidants.   
• Digestive Aid: May help to soothe mild digestive upset.
• Anti-inflammatory Properties: Contains compounds that may have mild anti-inflammatory effects.   

Preparation and Uses:

Raspberry Leaf is most commonly enjoyed as a tea, but can also be used in other ways:

• Raspberry Leaf Tea (Infusion):
  • Hot Tea: Steep 1-2 teaspoons of dried Raspberry Leaf in 1 cup of hot (not boiling) water for 10-15 minutes. Strain and enjoy warm. You can drink 1-3 cups daily.
  • Cold Infusion: Steep a larger amount of leaves in cold water overnight for a refreshing and milder infusion.
• Herbal Baths: Add a strong infusion of Raspberry Leaf to bathwater for a soothing and potentially skin-toning experience.   
• Capsules/Tablets: Raspberry Leaf is also available in supplement form. Follow the dosage instructions on the product label.   

Dosing:

• Tea: 1-3 cups daily, using 1-2 teaspoons of dried herb per cup.   

Important Considerations:

• Pregnancy: While traditionally used in pregnancy, it is crucial to consult with your doctor or midwife before using Raspberry Leaf during pregnancy, especially in the early stages.
• Hormone Sensitivity: If you have a history of hormone-sensitive conditions, consult your healthcare provider before using Raspberry Leaf.
• Drug Interactions: Raspberry Leaf may interact with certain medications. Consult your healthcare provider if you are taking any medications.
