Raspberry leaf tea the facts

Lucy

So meaning this in the nicest way possible so before everyone starts spouting raspberry leaf tea misinformation

As a herbalist let me give you some facts.

1. It does not cause labor

2. it will not start your contractions, your more likely to start contractions with common kitchen herbs in high doses. (Which I will not mention cause some were used as abortive’s 100s of years ago and can have similar effects as castor oil)

3. most tea bags only contain 1.5-1.8 g of raspberry leaf a medicinal dose would be 4g a day at the low end it needs to be brewed for at least 15mins. And most people can not stand the taste.

4. for it truest to be effective should be drank from by most herbalist standards 26weeks on at least once to twice a week. Moving to daily once you hit 36weeks.

Starting a 36 you won’t see much of an improvement

5. it’s super high in iron and can be used it cases of diarrhea even in babies and kids. So if you already can’t go to the toilet don’t use it because it will make it worse.

6. it’s fantastic for post Partumn and during your periods.

7. followed the above protocol with my 2nd baby and she came 40weeks 4days and this baby I’ve been drinking it since 14 weeks with this pregnancy I’m 34week 5 days

8. Just for shits and giggles it’s really good for mens prostate health

I use mountain rose herbs for all my herb purchases
