During my pregnancy, I read that raspberry leaf tea can help strengthen the uterus for labor. I started drinking this tea 3 times a day on my 39th week. Before I went into the hospital for a cervadil and induction, I used 2 tea bags and infused it for 30 minutes. I brought some tea bags with me to drink during my stay at the hospital. This is my 2nd pregnancy and this time was more positive and less tramatic for me. I only had to push my son out 3 times before he came out on his own. The contractions were strong enough to push him out without any help from me. I certainly believe this tea helped my labor to be shorter and easier for me. I felt better and stronger for the last 2 weeks of my pregnancy than the whole 9 months. I also like the smell and taste of this tea. I continued to drink this tea for my recovery from giving birth. This tea has become my favorite drink now. I definitely recommend drinking this tea during the last few weeks (starting 34 weeks) of pregnancy.

This tea is wonderful. I was skeptical that it was going to help my cramps but I decided to try it. I knew the tea by itself is good for you and it's organic so I thought--why not? Because of this tea, this month is the second time I have not been popping Ibuprofen like candy. I drank this tea in the morning (double dose..2 bags in 1 cup) and 1 dose 3 hours later. I was at church so I didn't take the tea with me and the cramps were starting to bother me again. When I got home, I drank the tea and after 30 minutes, completely pain-free. I read raspberry leaf is good for the uterus..Anyway, it helped me. The tea has to steep for 10-15 minutes covered. Honestly a pleasant surprise. Everyone was telling me to take birth control pills to lessen severe cramps but I refuse to because of the serious side effects. Can't go wrong with natural.

UPDATE: I cannot live without this stuff. It has consistently helped with my cramps. I will always buy this.

I drank this tea 3-4 cups everyday and the next period I was pregnant after 7 years of trying. I boiled water and used 1 tea bag drank that entire pot the whole day. I didnt know it would work this well, worth every penny.

I can not live without this tea. It does wonders for my heavy cycles. Has helped with cramping and amount of flow everything!!! I drink it everyday now and I WISH someone had told me about it sooner. I use all of the traditional medicinal products for colds etc. Love Love Love their products.

This is by far the best RRL tea ever. Traditional Medicinals uses the best herbs and this particular tea helps me very much. Not only that, but it tastes good, too. I drink three cups a day and don't have to add anything to it. This is an excellent product and I order it through the Subscribe & Save service and I really do save a bundle! Each box only turns out to be like $3 and change. In the store they are $5.65 each. I absolutely love this product!

When I went off the pill, I went 18 months without having a period. That is, until I started drinking this tea every day, sometimes twice a day. After about 3 weeks of this tea, I finally had a period and have been back to "normal" for over a year. Amazing stuff!

I read and read about midwives etc who recommended red raspberry leaf tea for strengthening and toning the uterus in preparation for labor. I finally bought this, and worked myself up to 3 strong cups of it a day after my 36th week. I'll just tell you what I know. This was my 2nd pregnancy. With my first I went almost to 42 weeks and then induced (and subsequently c-sectioned). This time, I spontaneously went into labor at week 38 (and had a VBAC). My labor was about 2 hours long. INTENSE (and kind of terrible). I don't know if this tea really did strengthen my uterus into being more efficient, or if it brought on labor. I definitely had a very different outcome this time around. And if nothing else, how can it harm? Hey, you're not only getting hydrated, but it's good for the psyche too. You feel like you're doing something to help your little one come out to your arms, safely. I'd do it again.

I used this tea first when I was pregnant. It was my first pregnancy and I had read great things about it toning the uterus to make labor go a bit more smooth. I drank 3 cups a day starting at 37 weeks. my son was born at 40+ weeks and my labor was short and the pushing didn't last that long. I do attribute that to this tea. This tea is also great for taking away menstrual cramps. Today in fact I took many different medications to try to get some kind of relief, and nothing would help. I found this tea that I forgot I had, made some and what do ya know, cramps are gone. I highly recommend this tea to all women.

I bought this to try and induce my labor. I drank a few glasses 5 days before I was due to give birth. I started drinking the tea around noon and I had my baby that same night. I was however taken by surprise. Contractions came out of nowhere around 7:30pm.... and they were a million times more painful than anything I felt with my first labor. I didn't want to wait around to time them since they were so painful, we left for the hospital at 8:05 pm, arrived there at 8:30 and she was born at 8:45pm. I didn't even have time for pain medicine or an IV... so a little scary... and I felt things I'd rather not ever feel again...but the tea seems to have done the job :)

My teenage daughter uses this tea to decrease the flow and pain of her menstruation and is really impressed by it.
