• A 1998 study found that pregnant women who consumed red raspberry leaf tea had shorter labor, less chance of preterm or posterm bleeding, and less chance of c-section, forceps, artificial rupture, or vacuum birth. Red raspberry leaf contains tannins which may contribute to its ability to strengthen & tighten the tissues within the uterus, as well as quercetin which acts as an anti-inflammatory, therefore cooling any inflamed tissues within the body. For these reasons red raspberry makes up the bulk of this tea blend, alongside herbs known for their affinity for the nerves, such as skullcap & oatstraw. Lemon balm is added for its ability to balance hormones while simultaneously easing anxiety, & ginger root & dandelion are two herbs that will aid the digestive process by increasing the enzymes needed for better absorption, as well as help to relieve gas, bloating, & indigestion (all too common ailments during pregnancy!). This formula is then rounded out with marshmallow leaf, which contains a high amount of iron & pectin, which may lower blood glucose concentrations, while also providing mucilage to any dry tissues within the body.
