Red Raspberry Tea For Reproductive Health


I remember a long time ago when I worked at a local health food store, selling many boxes of Red Raspberry Leaf tea (Rubus ideasus, spp).  Women from all ages would come to buy this product for their reproductive health.  I never gave much thought to it until this year, when my lady hormones seem to be totally 'out of sync'!  Since I have stopped breastfeeding my now 1 year old son, my hormones have been doing some weird tricks on my body.  My first post-partum menstrual period, it felt like I was going through menopause!  I had a few days of hot flashes and night sweats, as well as nausea.  It also felt like I was pregnant all over again (which I am not)!
So, as I was going through all this hormonal angst, I thought of Red Raspberry Leaf tea and started to do a bit more research.  The internet is full of great information about this tea and how it can help to balance women's hormonal flux.  It can help with PMS, fertility, first trimester symptoms, labour progression, menopause, and much more!  It is a natural tonic for your uterus!  I have had three c-sections, so I am thinking this would be a great way to heal my uterus from all of its surgeries.
After giving this herbal tea a good taste test for a few days, I have found my symptoms to be somewhat better.  Perhaps I will ad this tea to my daily tea ritual!  I always prefer loose leaf teas, but it can also be bought in packages at many health food stores.
If you feel Red Raspberry Leaf tea would be of benefit to your hormonal balance, it is worth giving it a try!  I would recommend that you talk to your doctor or naturopath, to make sure that it won't counter any medications or supplements you are currently taking.

I wish you all the best towards finding balance and peace with your body!
