Description

Raspberry leaf tea (Rubus idaeus) is a delicious herbal tea made from the dried and cut leaves of the raspberry plant. Raspberries, originating from Europe and parts of Asia, are well-known red berries, but it’s the leaves that make this tea so special.

The tea has a mild flavor and can be enjoyed on its own or combined with other teas and herbs. A popular combination is raspberry leaf with peppermint, creating a refreshing and flavorful blend. Raspberry leaf tea is also often added to various blends and herbal infusions. For example, you can find raspberry leaf in our Cosy Nights, Forest Queen, Rose Hip Symphony, and Moonlight AMBAR. Enjoy this delightful tea as a moment of calm and indulgence in your daily routine.

For many years, raspberry leaf tea has been used to treat certain conditions and to ease childbirth. Although there is much anecdotal evidence of its benefits, more scientific research is needed to definitively assess its effectiveness.

The maximum recommended amount is two cups per day.

Potential health benefits of raspberry leaf tea

Raspberry leaf tea is praised for its potential health benefits. This tea is known to relieve menstrual cramps and promote healthy blood flow. Additionally, it’s a rich source of iron and contains other nutrients such as vitamin A, calcium, and potassium.

Raspberry leaf tea is also especially popular among pregnant women and midwives. During pregnancy, this tea is often consumed as it is believed to strengthen contractions and reduce blood loss. Due to its high iron content, raspberry leaf tea is also recommended as a restorative tea after childbirth.

While there is much anecdotal evidence of the benefits of raspberry leaf tea, scientific evidence is limited, and more research is needed to evaluate its effectiveness. Drinking herbal tea can be a valuable addition to a healthy lifestyle, but it does not replace conventional healthcare. It is always advisable to consult a doctor before using herbs, especially during pregnancy, breastfeeding, when taking medications, or if you have a medical condition. Herbs can cause side effects, contraindications, and interactions with other medications.
