‘Leaves of the plant have been used medicinally in Europe since as early as the sixth century (Beckett et al., 1954). Traditionally, raspberry leaf has been used for a range of applications, including relieving menstrual cramps and diarrhoea, as an astringent mouthwash and as a treatment for conjunctivitis (EMA, 2014). However, it is most commonly consumed during pregnancy in an effort to stimulate and facilitate labour and to shorten its duration, with a prevalence of use among pregnant women as high as 38%, based on a recent survey in Australia (Farnaghi and Braniff, 2022). In a survey of herbal remedy use performed at the antenatal clinic at Norfolk and Norwich University hospital between November 2007 and February 2008, 23.7% of expectant mothers who responded to the survey reported taking raspberry leaf (Holst et al., 2011). Typically, it is taken as tea or tablets but occasionally as a tincture (Simpson et al., 2001). Other alleged benefits of raspberry leaf during pregnancy include alleviation of morning sickness; prevention of post-partum haemorrhage, miscarriage and Braxton Hicks contractions; and stimulation of breast milk production (Patel et al., 2004; EMA, 2014).’ Source: Food Standard Agency https://cot.food.gov.uk/Introduction%20and%20Background%20-%20Raspberry%20leaf%20tea
