OVERVIEW:
Raspberry leaf is green with a silver-gray underside and is from a thorny shrub in the rose family. They are commonly used as a tea and are among the most pleasant-tasting herbs with a flavor much like black tea and are often combined with other tea herbs to give the beverages a more robust flavor. Also, raspberry leaves contain a variety of tannins giving it strong astringent qualities.
Its gently nurturing properties have been used by European and Native American women for thousands of years for uterine health, particularly during pregnancy and childbearing years. Raspberry leaf is just as nutritious as the fruit and is a good source of carotenes, vitamin C, magnesium, calcium, and other minerals. With its nutritional boost, it
can help improve your immune system as well as support general good health.
