Red raspberry (Rubus idaeus) is a fruit-bearing shrub native to Europe and northern Asia. It has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly for women’s health.
The leaves of the red raspberry plant have been used since ancient times to prepare teas believed to support reproductive health and ease childbirth. Native Americans also used raspberry leaf tea to treat diarrhea and other gastrointestinal issues.
The leaves are rich in vitamins, minerals, and tannins, which contribute to their astringent and toning properties. Today, red raspberry leaf tea is widely consumed to support menstrual health, pregnancy, and overall reproductive wellness.
