Plant Part: Leaf (Cut & Sifted)

Package Size: 1 oz Pouch

Flavor Profile: Earthy, robust, mildly astringent, and full-bodied (remarkably similar to a classic black tea, but completely caffeine-free)

Overview & Traditional Uses

Revered for millennia across traditional European folk herbalism and indigenous North American practices (notably by the Cherokee and Iroquois), Red Raspberry Leaf is celebrated as the premier herbal "partus preparator" and foundational women’s reproductive tonic. Packed with the plant alkaloid fragarine, hydrolyzable tannins, bioflavonoids, and rich bioavailable minerals (calcium, magnesium, iron, and potassium), these silver-backed leaves are prized for their unique ability to tone, strengthen, and relax the smooth muscle tissue of the pelvic and uterine floor.

• Uterine Tone & Menstrual Comfort: Contains fragarine, a plant compound traditionally brewed to tone and strengthen the uterine wall, ease painful menstrual cramping, reduce excessive menstrual flow, and bring steady rhythm to the reproductive system.

• Metaphysical & Folklore Uses: Ruled by Venus and the Water element. Deeply tied to divine feminine sovereignty, womb healing, love drawing, fertility blessings, and domestic protection. Used in ritual bath teas, mojo bags, and blessing brews to anchor gentle nurturing energy, heal maternal lineage wounds, and protect home harmony.

• Nutritive Daily Tonic & Gut Astringency: Rich in gentle tannins and bioavailable minerals that help soothe sluggish digestion, tone loose bowels, and serve as an ideal, non-caffeinated base for everyday restorative tea blends.

Brewing & Preparation

• Standard Daily Infusion: Steep 1–2 teaspoons of cut leaf in 8 oz of freshly boiled water for 10–15 minutes, covered. Strain and enjoy warm, plain or with raw honey and a splash of lemon.

• Nourishing Pelvic Support Overnight Infusion: Add 2–3 tablespoons of cut leaf to a 32 oz glass mason jar. Fill with boiling water, cap tightly, and steep on the counter for 4–8 hours (or overnight). Strain and sip chilled throughout the day for a deeply mineral-dense uterine tonic.

• Pairs Well With: Nettle Leaf, Rose Petals, Spearmint, Chamomile, Hibiscus, Oatstraw.

Precautions & Storage

• Precautions: While historically famous for late-pregnancy preparation and postpartum recovery, consult your midwife, OB/GYN, or healthcare provider prior to use during pregnancy (traditional herbalism typically reserves therapeutic use for the second and third trimesters under professional guidance, avoiding large doses during the first trimester). Its natural astringent tannins may cause mild constipation if consumed in excessive quantities without adequate hydration.

• Storage: Store sealed in an airtight pouch or glass jar in a cool, dark, dry cupboard away from direct heat and sunlight to preserve its velvety silver-green leaf color and active tannins.
