Dried Raspberry Leaf

Raspberry leaves are used traditionally for women's health issues, such as supporting pregnancy, alleviating menstrual cramps, and helping with heavy bleeding. They also have astringent properties used for diarrhea and gastrointestinal distress, and can be gargled for mouth and throat irritation or applied topically for skin inflammation. While widely used, clinical evidence for many of these applications is limited. Raspberry leaf tea is primarily used for women's reproductive health, including preparing the uterus for childbirth and easing menstrual cramps and heavy bleeding. It also provides nutritional benefits, acting as a source of vitamins and minerals, and may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The tea has been traditionally used to help with fertility and menopausal symptoms, although more clinical research is needed in some of these areas.
