This is one herb that is beneficial for pregnant mothers and even for children. Pregnant women have taken it to prevent tearing of the uterius during birth. It does contain lots of iron which is good for the expecting mom. It can enrich the colostrum found in mother’s milk. It has been shown to prepare the breast for breast milk for the newborn
Historically it has been used an an astrigent. It was applied to sore eyes. I find this odd. The fresh fruit has been used for tartar on the teeth. Sometimes a pregnant women have morning sickness. Many herbalists suggest ginger which is very effective There are a handful of women who cannot tolerate ginger. I turn to red raspberry tea to aid in morning sickness.
I find Red Raspberry as good digestive aid I use it with Slippery Elm, Marshmallow and Meadowsweet. I use it in Botanical Bounty’s GUTSY tea
It ahs been written for its used for a preventative for hemorrhaging during labor and after. I have not used for this as I not delivering any babies
Until tomorrow
