Raspberry Leaf Tea

Why it's loved
Recommended by naturopaths and midwives, Raspberry Leaf is a classic uterine tonic that helps prepare the uterus for labour.
It's also a nutritive herb rich in manganese, calcium, magnesium, iron, selenium, vitamin A, B complex, C and E.
It does not start labour or promote contractions. Instead it strengthens the uterine muscles so that once labour does start, it's more efficient.
It's also thought to help facilitate a safer third stage of labour, preventing haemorrhage.
It can also be used during the postpartum period to help the with the involution of the uterus, after pains and support milk supply.

Research
Research
Raspberry leaf has been used in Europe for centuries, certainly as early as the 6th century!
These days it's estimated up to 58% of pregnant women use it.
Research has found that the consumption of Raspberry leaf tea during pregnancy "may improve labour outcome and reduce the need for medical intervention at birth."
Other studies have also reported "a decreased likelihood of pre- and post-term gestation, and fewer obstetric interventions including decreased caesarean section, forceps delivery and vacuum extraction in the group that had taken Raspberry leaf when compared with the control group."
