Raspberry leaf is a thought of as a uterine tonic and is commonly used to prepare the body for birth. Q Essemce combines organic raspberry leaf with a little peppermint and rose to create a delicious blend designed to support women’s health.
 
Drinking Raspberry leaf tea is believed to shorten labour with no identified side effects for the birthing women or their babies. A study also found ingestion might decrease the likelihood of pre and post-term gestation. An unexpected finding in a study indicated that women who ingest raspberry leaf might be less likely to receive an artificial rupture of their membranes, or require a caesarean section, forceps or vacuum birth than the women in the control group.
