Yogi Tea® Organic Woman’s Raspberry Leaf is a gentle and organic way to support the special needs of a woman’s reproductive system. Since ancient times Organic Raspberry Leaf has been a favorite of midwives for easing common female complaints, and Western herbalists have long used this herb to reduce the pain of menstruation, and to strengthen and tone the uterus. The polyphenols (tannins and flavonoids) in Raspberry Leaf are astringent, tightening and toning to the tissues, especially the walls of the uterus, which also help ease menstrual difficulties. British Herbal Pharmacopoeia and Bartram’s Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine have called Raspberry Leaf an aid for maintaining gastrointestinal, respiratory tract and cardiovascular health and a useful antispasmodic (relieving cramps). According to the yogic tradition, the three things a woman must do every day are "Meditate, sweat and laugh!" It is also important for a woman to relax since tension can accumulate in the reproductive organs. Enjoy the full-bodied flavor of Woman’s Raspberry Leaf tea and give yourself the healing support every woman needs.
