Red raspberry leaf tea for reproductive health

    It wasn't until my second pregnancy that I heard about the benefits of red raspberry leaf tea. On the advice of my midwives I got a few boxes and started drinking it sometime after my first trimester. Before I started drinking it, I looked into the benefits. I was really happy with what I learned. 

    It's not just good during pregnancy, it's just all around good for female reproductive health. It strengthens the uterus and can help regulate your menstrual cycle. Reduces cramps and heavy periods. It is also beneficial to the health of your gums and can help ease pain and reduce inflammation. 

    During pregnancy it can help ease morning sickness and soothe your stomach. It's said to shorten labor and can help tone your uterus after birth. It's a good source of many important vitamins and minerals, whether pregnant or not. 

     Raspberry leaf tea is high in vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C and vitamin E. it's a great source of magnesium, potassium, iron and calcium. As with anything, ask your doctor before you start drinking raspberry leaf tea during pregnancy. If you get the ok, I think you will be happy with the benefits. I enjoy it hot or even iced, it's got a great mild flavor. Do you already drink raspberry leaf tea? If so, how do you enjoy it?
