Why its loved?
Recommended by naturopaths and midwives, Raspberry Leaf is a classic uterine tonic that helps prepare the uterus for labour.
It's one of the most revered pregnancy herbs and is also considered one of the safest.
Raspberry Leaf liquid herbal extract is a great alternative to drinking Raspberry leaf herbal tea or taking tablets. It offers both convenience and potency in small (mls) daily doses.
It does not start labour or promote contractions. Instead, it strengthens the uterine muscles so that once labour does start, it's more efficient.
When taken throughout the third trimester it's also thought to help facilitate a safer third stage of labour, preventing haemorrhage.

How Raspberry Leaf works
It's seen as the great regulator. It helps to prepare the uterus for an effective labour by relaxing over-tense muscles and toning over-relaxed muscles.
This supports effective and progressive contractions during labour.
Studies show
Up to 58% of pregnant women use Raspberry Leaf.
This equates to up to 174,000 of the 300,000 births a year in Australia!
