Raspberry

Rubus idaeus or the red raspberry has been used as a tasty, nutritive and medicinal tea for hundreds of years. Raspberry leaf tea is somewhat of a counterpart to red clover, red clover being more supportive of the estrogen part of the cycle and raspberry leaf being more supportive of progesterone. Raspberry leaf tea contains vitamin C, E, B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, and zinc. It’s tightening and astringing, good for toning the digestive tract and uterus; it’s often taken during pregnancy in preparation for childbirth.
