Raspberry Leaf by Nature's Sunshine
Raspberry leaf has traditionally been used in pregnancy as a partus praeparator, which is taken daily during the third trimester to help strengthen and tone the uterus in preparation for childbirth and facilitate labour.
Research suggests that Raspberry leaf contains an active principle which is known as ‘fragarine’ which is considered to help by relaxing the uterine muscle as well as helping to initiate and coordinate contractions.
