Red
raspberry leaf tea has been used for thousands of years and has earned
the reputation of being the "supreme" herb for pregnant women. It can relieve
almost any discomfort of pregnancy from morning sickness to leg cramps.
It has also been shown to strengthen & tone the uterine wall and help
to make delivery easier and speedier by helping the uterus contract more
efficiently and helps expel the placenta after.
Raspberry
leaf has a rich concentration of vitamin C, E, A & the B complexes.
It also contains calcium & iron in one of its most absorbable forms.
These are all nutrients which are very important during pregnancy.
Historically
women have taken raspberry leaf tea throughout their pregnancies up to
and including childbirth. You may choose to drink our Mothers'
Nutritious Tea 4 Two during your pregnancy but add more red raspberry
leaves to your Tea 4 Two Herb Blend in your final month of pregnancy.
This would be great for drinking during
labour & right after.
To
make a tea, pour 1 cup boiling water over 1 to 2 teaspoons of herb and
steep for ten minutes. Strain.
During
the first trimesters, drink 1 cup per day. During second trimester,
drink 2 to 3 cups per day. In the final trimester, drink 4 to 5 cups
per day. Using a teaball would be useful. You can also drink
it HOT or chilled.
Please
store the dried tea in an airtight container in the freezer to keep the
herbs dry and fresh.
1 packet
of Raspberry Leaf Tea is 50g.
