As a student herbalist on this journey, I’ve fallen in love with so many herbs that have changed my life! Red raspberry leaf is one of my favorites and a must have in my apothecary + kitchen. It is believed to tone and strengthen the uterus, enhance fertility, combat PMS symptoms, & reduce inflammation. It also contains vital nutrients that support a healthy pregnancy.
I often drink the tea as is, being that the herb has a lovely light & delicate flavor but when I’m wanting a little extra treat I whip up one of these babies. It’s the perfect late night treat to curb those PMS cravings as it’s equally nutritious & delicious!
