Raspberry leaf consists of the dried leaflets of Rubus idaeus (Rosaceae). It contains a principle, readily extracted with hot water, which relaxes the smooth muscle of the uterus and intestine of some animals. Raspberry ‘tea’ has been a traditional remedy for painful and profuse menstruation and for use before and during labour. The infusion has also been used as an astringent gargle.
