Organic Raspberry Leaf

As its name suggests, Raspberry Leaf is the leaf of the raspberry plant. It is somewhat well known for its benefits during pregnancy, but it is beneficial to women at all stages of life. It is naturally high in magnesium, potassium, iron and B-vitamins which may make it helpful for nausea, leg cramps and improving sleep during pregnancy.

The specific combination of nutrients in Raspberry Leaf makes it extremely beneficial for the female reproductive system. It may strengthen the uterus and pelvic muscles which some midwives say leads to shorter and easier labours.

The tannins in Raspberry Leaf give it astringent properties which make it soothing both internally and externally. A strong Raspberry Leaf tea or tincture will sooth sunburn, eczema, and rashes when used externally.

Swishing with a tincture or infusion of raspberry leaf is great for the gums and may help alleviate the symptoms of gingivitis or gum disease.
