Raspberry leaf is a herb known for its medicinal properties and is commonly used in herbal teas. The leaves come from the red raspberry plant, scientifically known as Rubus idaeus. They have a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly for women's health. Raspberry leaves are rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamins C, E, A, and B, as well as iron, calcium, and magnesium. They are believed to help strengthen the uterine walls, making them popular among pregnant women to facilitate labor and delivery. Additionally, raspberry leaf tea is often consumed to relieve menstrual cramps and support overall reproductive health. The leaves have a slightly bitter, earthy taste and can be used fresh or dried.
