Red Raspberry Leaf is the best known, most widely used, and safest of all female tonic herbs.
Most of the benefits ascribed to regular use of Raspberry leaf are traced to the nourishing source of vitamins and minerals found in this plant and to the strengthening power of fragrine - an alkaloid which gives tone to the muscles of the pelvic region, including the uterus itself. Of special note are the rich concentration of vitamin C, the presence of vitamin E and the easily assimilated calcium and iron. Raspberry leaves also contain vitamins A and B complex and many minerals, including phosphorous and potassium.

The benefits of taking raspberry leaf before pregnancy and throughout the third trimester of include:
~Increasing fertility in both men and women. Raspberry leaf is an excellent fertility herb when combined with Red Clover and peppermint teas or tinctures.
~Preventing hemorrhage. Raspberry leaf tones the uterus and helps prevent postpartum hemorrhage from a relaxed or atonic uterus.
~Reducing pain during labour and after birth. By toning the muscles used during labor and delivery, Raspberry leaf eliminates many of the reasons for a painful delivery and prolonged recovery. It does not, however, counter the pain of pelvic dilation.
~Assisting in the production of plentiful breast milk. The high mineral content of Raspberry leaf assist in milk production, but its astringency may counter that for some women.
~Providing a safe and speedy pariuntion. Raspberry leaf works to encourage the uterus to let go and function without tension. It does not strengthen contractions, but does allow the contracting uterus to work more effectively and so may make the birth easier and faster.
