Raspberry leaves contain the active principle, fragrine, which has a direct impact on the female reproductive organs, and especially the muscles of the pelvic region and uterus.
Historically it has been used right through pregnancy to avoid birthing difficulties and relieve morning sickness.
It was also used to bring down retained afterbirth, and for both female and male sterility. Eating the fruit is also beneficial.
Historically, raspberry has also been used for coughs, to wash and clean old sores, stomach and throat problems, frigidity, barrenness, leucorrhoea, mouth ulcers, bleeding gums and tongue, tonsilitis, cracked lips, dysentery, diarrhoea, diabetes, indigestion, bloating, gastrointestinal cramping, to increase milk flow, heart health, respiratory health, infant fever, prolapsed uterus, tonic, nervine, to supply readily assimilable iron, anaemia, fretfulness and general lack of energy.
So these delicious berries and their leaves are truly unique.
Make the most of them when they are in season and freeze them when they’re not.
It’s not meant to be complicated to be well, nor is it meant to be expensive.
