What is raspberry leaf tea?

Used in traditional medicine for centuries, especially for women’s health concerns, raspberry leaf tea is made from the leaves of the red raspberry plant (Rubus idaeus), not the fruit.

Used in traditional medicine for centuries, especially for women’s health concerns, it’s caffeine-free, packed with antioxidants, and contains key nutrients, such as:

• Fragrine (an alkaloid believed to tone pelvic muscles)
• Magnesium, potassium, and iron
• Vitamins A, B, and C

This combination makes this herbal tea a gentle but powerful ally when it comes to hormonal balance, muscle tone, and menstrual wellbeing.

What are the potential benefits of raspberry leaf for women?

Menstrual support

Many women use raspberry leaf tea to help manage menstrual symptoms. Its antispasmodic properties may help soothe cramping, while its muscle-toning effects may support a smoother menstrual cycle over time.

Our Raspberry Leaf and Peppermint herbal blend combines the traditional benefits of raspberry leaf with the refreshing and calming properties of peppermint, which may also help relieve the bloating and digestive discomfort often associated with your cycle.

Uterine tone and reproductive health

Raspberry leaf is widely used in traditional herbalism to support uterine tone. While more research is needed, it’s thought that the compound fragrine may help strengthen the uterus and pelvic muscles, making it a popular herbal support during the later stages of pregnancy and labour preparation.

Always speak to you midwife or healthcare provider before using raspberry leaf tea during pregnancy.  

Perimenopause and menopause support

The hormone shifts of perimenopause and menopause can bring unpleasant symptoms like hot flushes, mood changes, and fatigue. Raspberry leaf, when used alongside other supportive herbs, may offer comfort.

Our NutraMeno blend is specifically formulated for this stage of life, with raspberry leaf, sage, liquorice, and black cohosh – herbs traditionally used to support hormone balance and ease menopausal symptoms. Whether you’re experiencing night sweats or simply looking for natural support, NutraMeno offers a natural, herbal solution.

Is raspberry leaf tea safe to drink every day?

In general, raspberry leaf blends are considered safe for most women and can be enjoyed regularly. However:

• During pregnancy, it’s usually recommended only in the third trimester and always with guidance from your healthcare provider.
• If you’re on medication or have a hormone sensitive condition, speak with your doctor before introducing any new herbal teas or supplements.

As with any herbal remedy, moderation and professional guidance are key.
