1 oz - Organic Raspberry Leaf

Garden raspberry, also called red raspberry, is a member of the rose family. Most people are familiar with the sweet and slightly tart berries the plant produces in summer, which are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. The leaf, however, is also nutritious as a good source of B vitamins and minerals, including iron, magnesium, potassium and calcium.

Raspberry leaf is traditionally used in tea blends, or tinctured in apple cider vinegar.

Considerations & Safety: 

• Pregnancy:  While raspberry leaf is often used during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy to help prepare the uterus for labor, it should be avoided in the first trimester. This is because the herb may stimulate uterine contractions, which could potentially increase the risk of miscarriage in early pregnancy. Always consult with a healthcare provider before using raspberry leaf during pregnancy, particularly if you are unsure or have any pregnancy-related concerns.
• Breastfeeding: Raspberry leaf is considered safe for most breastfeeding mothers, but it is best to consult with a healthcare provider before using it in large amounts, as there are limited studies on its effects during lactation.
• Medications: Raspberry leaf may interact with certain medications, particularly those used to control blood pressure, diuretics, or hormonal therapies. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider if you are on medications or have any underlying health conditions before using raspberry leaf.
• Allergic Reactions: Although rare, some individuals may be allergic to raspberry leaf. If you notice signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, or swelling, discontinue use and seek medical attention immediately.
