Organic Raspberry Leaf

Organic Raspberry Leaf – Rubus idaeus

Organic Raspberry Leaf is prepared from the leaves of Rubus idaeus, the familiar red raspberry plant. Unlike fruit teas made with raspberries, raspberry leaf has a mild, pleasantly earthy flavour with subtle green tea-like notes and has a long history of use in traditional Western herbalism.

Raspberry leaf is particularly well known as a traditional women's herb. It has been used for generations in herbal preparations associated with menstrual and reproductive health and is traditionally used as a uterine tonic.

The leaves naturally contain a variety of plant compounds, including tannins, flavonoids and phenolic compounds. Their naturally astringent character contributes to the distinctive flavour of raspberry leaf and its long-standing use in traditional herbal preparations.

A Traditional Women's Herb

Raspberry leaf has perhaps become best known for its traditional use during the reproductive years, including for menstrual support and in preparations used during pregnancy. Its historical association with pregnancy is especially well established; however, the timing and suitability of raspberry leaf during pregnancy should be discussed with a qualified healthcare practitioner or midwife.

Beyond its traditional women's uses, raspberry leaf makes an enjoyable caffeine-free herbal infusion. Its mild, leafy character works beautifully on its own and also blends well with nettle leaf, oatstraw, rose petals, lemon balm and other loose herbs.
