Rubus idaeus · Dried Leaves · Traditional Herbal Infusions
Softly earthy and gently herbaceous, Raspberry Leaf has been appreciated in traditional European herbal infusions for generations.
Raspberry Leaf (Rubus idaeus) comes from the familiar red raspberry plant, a perennial shrub with characteristic toothed leaves and delicate pale flowers. It is the leaf, rather than the fruit, that is traditionally gathered for loose-leaf botanical preparations.
Our dried Raspberry Leaf has a mild green, subtly tannic character, making it an interesting base for botanical blends with Nettle, Rose Petals and other complementary herbs.
At Flowers from my Meadow, we keep it pure and uncomplicated: dried Raspberry Leaf, carefully packed for your herbal pantry.
How to Prepare
For a traditional infusion: Add 1–2 teaspoons of dried Raspberry Leaf to 250ml freshly boiled water. Cover and steep for 10–15 minutes, then strain. Consult a healthcare professional about whether this herb is appropriate for you, particularly during pregnancy.
Precautions
Pregnancy: Raspberry Leaf has traditionally been used in pregnancy, but evidence that it improves labour outcomes is weak and safety has not been adequately established. Do not use during pregnancy without guidance from your obstetric healthcare professional. Seek professional guidance before using while breastfeeding.
If taking prescription medication or managing a medical condition, consult a healthcare professional before regular medicinal use. Discontinue if sensitivity occurs.
