Raspberry Leaf: The Lady Herb

Raspberry Leaf can benefit all ladies. It's amazing!

In my experience with herbal remedies, what works wonderfully well for one person may not work at all for another. My family has tried remedies that people swear have changed their lives … with virtually no effect.  Whereas other things make a noticeable difference.  Our bodies are all made and respond to things differently.

Having said that, I will tell you honestly that

Raspberry Leaf has changed my life!

Once I passed 40, my periods began getting heavier with a lot of cramping.  After doing some research, I decided to try Raspberry Leaf Tea.

Raspberry Leaf has vitamin A, B complex, vitamins C and E, calcium, iron, phosphorous and manganese.  It also seems to have the magical ability to calm my crabby uterus.

 

Raspberry Leaf is my Patronus!

I like to mix a little peppermint leaf in with the raspberry for flavor.

I either make and sip on cups of tea throughout the day OR more often, I take a teaspoon of raspberry leaf tincture every few hours.  Making the tincture is easy.  Just fill a jar about 3/4 full with the dried leaves and pour in enough vodka to cover.  Seal up the jar and let it sit in a cook, dark place for a few weeks to a couple of months. You can read more about making tinctures here.  When it’s all good and ready, strain the mixture and keep in a clean bottle or jar.  I learned about making tinctures in my favorite book about herbal home health care.

Raspberry Leaf can benefit all ladies. It's amazing!

I like to mix a spoonful of the tincture into a little bit of juice.  Makes it go down easier.

A spoonful of tincture is equivalent to one cup of tea.

What I notice when I take my magical elixir is that my cramping is virtually non-existent and my flow is noticeably lighter.

A friend of mine had a daughter who was away at college when she began having ‘the period that never ends’.  Not wanting to have to send her to her first gynecologist appointment under these circumstances, she was looking for alternatives.  I recommended raspberry leaf tea, and gave her a bag to send.

Her daughter immediately noticed a difference, and her period slowed and stopped.

I have given away more bags of dried raspberry leaf than I can count, to ladies in all stages of life. (So to anyone at my church who thinks I’m dealing the marijuana, I am not).  Many have had the same results I’ve had.  Some haven’t.  Like I said, our bodies are all made and respond to things differently. 

But as for me, I do not want to be without it.

Have you tried Raspberry Leaf?  How has it worked for you?

 Even though I think mixing the tea is super easy, I’ve had enough people ask me to help them with it that I finally decided to offer you my special blend here from The Sparrow’s Home.  Click here to find out how to get yours.

This Tea is for Ladies. You could experience less cramping, lighter flow, and more regulated periods. Hand blended organic raspberry and peppermint leaf.

    What a GREAT post! Like you, I prefer to mix the raspberry leaf with another herb to get a better flavor. I love the benefits, but don’t care for the taste! 😉 Thank you for sharing this very helpful information at Tuesdays with a Twist! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures

    That’s amazing! I didn’t know all these benefits of the tea! I’ve been drinking at least a cup a day since I was 28 weeks pregnant (I’m 35 weeks now) to hopefully help my labor! I love the idea of a tincture…so you take it sort of like medicine, you’re saying? When you need something stronger than just a little cup of tea?

      Hahaha…stronger than tea. 🙂 Not really…a tincture is really just more like taking a spoonful of medicine. I like it because it’s quick. You get the benefits without sipping all day. Same benefits…different delivery. Glad you stopped by – –

    I LOVE raspberry leaf! I’ve never thought to make a tincture out of it but drinking strong brewed loose leaf tea with some maca leading up to my periods helped with my horrible cramps. When I’m pregnant I love to mix some up with alfalfa and oatstraw and a pinch of peppermint and make big batches of tea, especially in the last trimester. Such a great herb to have on hand!

      So happy to meet another believer! 🙂 I have read that raspberry leaf is great for pregnancies, but hadn’t heard about alfalfa and oatstraw. Thanks for the heads up. (Not that I’m planning to be pregnant again, but valuable info to pass along!)

    This is so cool!! I have wanted to make tinctures but never really looked into it. I have used Raspberry Leaf tea during pregnancy and the first months postpartum, but I guess I never thought about using it during the later reproductive years. Pinning and stumbled!!

      So glad the info was a blessing to you! I WISH I’d have known about raspberry leaf when I was pregnant and postpartum.
