Raspberry Leaf

from $4.00

100% ORGANIC

Raspberry leaf is traditionally used for women's health, particularly to support the uterus during pregnancy and ease menstrual discomfort and heavy bleeding. It is also rich in antioxidants and has been used to aid digestion, soothe respiratory issues, and promote healthy skin, though more research is needed to confirm these benefits. The most common use is as a herbal tea, which can also be used topically for skin irritations.  

Women's reproductive health

  • Pregnancy: It is traditionally used to prepare the uterus for childbirth, potentially strengthening it and leading to a shorter labor. Some research suggests it may decrease the risk of needing a C-section or having preterm labor. 

  • Menstrual cycle: It is used to reduce excessive menstrual bleeding and ease period cramps and PMS symptoms. 

  • Overall uterine health: Raspberry leaf is recognized for supporting overall uterine health. 

Other traditional and potential uses

  • Digestive aid:

    Its astringent properties can help with digestive issues like diarrhea, indigestion, and nausea. 

  • Skin and oral health:

    It can be used topically to soothe skin rashes, burns, and irritations, and as a mouthwash for sore mouths or gum issues. 

  • Antioxidant support:

    It is packed with antioxidants like flavonoids and tannins that protect the body from cellular damage. 

  • Respiratory support:

    Some traditions use it to ease symptoms of colds and other respiratory discomfort. 

Important considerations

  • Consult a healthcare provider:

    It is important to speak with a doctor or midwife before using raspberry leaf, especially if you are pregnant, to ensure it is appropriate for your individual situation. 

  • Discontinue use if needed:

    If you are pregnant, discontinue use if you experience spotting or Braxton Hicks contractions. 

  • Astringent properties:

    Due to its astringent nature, it may exacerbate dryness in some individuals. It can be balanced in a tea blend with other herbs.
