Red Raspberry is one of the most renowned and loved fruits in the world. But who would have ever thought that its leaves would have many beneficial and medicinal uses. Red Raspberry Leaf (Rubus Idaeus) is native to North and South America, Asia, and Europe. It has been used for several centuries and is deemed one of the safest herbal tonics. The red raspberry leaf is comprised of powerful anti-bacterial (helps destroy harmful bacteria or inhibiting their growth), anti-inflammatory (reduces inflammation), and astringent (something that causes constriction of body tissues and cells) effects.
- Promotes Digestive Balance – many herbalists have recommended red raspberry leaves to soothe the digestive tract. Red Raspberry Leaf contains tannins which are considered an astringent. Since astringents are well known for drying out mucous membranes, the use of red raspberry could help alleviate stomach cramps as well as diarrhea.
- Supports Glandular Function – Glands help produce and excrete hormones which manage and control various organs so that all body parts work together and efficiently. Nutritional supplements rich in trace minerals, along with a well balanced diet, can help ensure the glandular system functions properly. Red Raspberry Leaves are extremely high in vitamins and minerals which in turn help support all glandular functions.
- Female Reproductive Health – many women have been incorporating the use of red raspberry during their pregnancy and to sustain and strengthen the female reproductive system. Some women use the red raspberry leaf tea for lessening painful menstrual periods, improving morning sickness, preventing miscarriages, and easing labor and delivery.
