It’s Tuesday, and you know what that means — Herbal Wisdom Day! ✨
Today’s herb of the week not only works magically but also heals medicinally: Red Raspberry Leaf. Known as “The Women’s Herb,” this plant supports our womb, hormones, and emotional flow through every phase of our cycle.
🍃 Medicinal Magic
Red Raspberry Leaf is rich in iron, magnesium, calcium, and B vitamins — nutrients that deeply nourish the reproductive system and tone the uterus.
In herbalism, it’s considered a uterine tonic, meaning it strengthens and supports the muscles of the uterus. This can help ease cramps, regulate menstrual cycles, and prepare the body for childbirth. It’s also believed to support hormone balance and reduce PMS symptoms by assisting the liver — which plays a key role in processing excess estrogen.
🍵 Cycle-Soothing Tea Blend
Try this gentle, balancing tea to ease cramps, calm your body, and nourish your hormones:
✨ 1 tsp Red Raspberry Leaf — tones the uterus + balances hormones
✨ 1 tsp Chamomile — calms nerves, relaxes muscles, and reduces inflammation
✨ 1 tsp Nettle Leaf — rich in iron + minerals to replenish your body
✨ ½ tsp Ginger — boosts circulation + relieves cramping
✨ A squeeze of fresh lemon juice — adds vitamin C + enhances absorption of minerals
Steep everything in hot water for 10–15 minutes, breathe deeply, and sip with intention. 💫
🔮 Magical + Energetic Purposes
Spiritually, Red Raspberry Leaf is connected to feminine energy, fertility, love, and protection.
You can use it in:
🌹 Simmer pots for self-love and softness
🛁 Baths to connect with your sacral chakra
🍵 Teas or rituals to bring strength, warmth, and divine balance
It’s grounding and nurturing, kind of like a warm hug for your body and spirit. 🌙

Have you ever worked with Red Raspberry Leaf before?
What phase of your cycle do you feel this herb could support you most in?
💖 My Answer
I love using Red Raspberry Leaf during my luteal phase — a week before my period when cramps and emotions hit hardest. It truly helps me feel calmer and more in tune with my body.
I also used it during pregnancy starting at 24 weeks (mixed with pineapple juice after 36 weeks!). 🍍 Always talk to your provider before using any herbs during pregnancy.
