Raspberry Leaf has long been known as an herbal ally for female bodies because of its action in strengthening pelvic floor muscles and the uterus. It supports the normal function of relaxation and contraction. This action makes it useful for childbearing as it may shorten labor and can decrease childbirth complications. It is also beneficial for menstrual disorders.
Raspberry leaf is cooling and astringent so can be used to sooth the digestive system in cases of diarrhea (especially in infants), colic, constipation, indigestion, and abdominal pain. It is a gentle, all-purpose remedy for digestive problems and can be used safely even in pregnant women and very young children.
Raspberry leaf can be made into a nourishing tea containing significant amounts of Vitamin C and other powerful antioxidants. These can help reduce the risk of chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. The tea contains a high amount of fiber, which helps with balancing blood sugar.
