Red Raspberry Leaf Tea Bag

Native to England and a member of the rose family¸ Red Raspberry (Rubus idaeus) shrubs grow wild along road sides and in thickets throughout many parts of the world.

The ancient Greeks¸ Chinese¸ Ayurvedics and American Indians used Raspberry for its health properties. The roots were also used as a vegetable-boiled and eaten like turnips. In the 1940’s¸ renewed interest in Raspberry resulted in a published study in the British medical journal¸ Lancet¸ supporting the traditional use of the Raspberry. Over the next 30 years¸ several other studies confirmed this finding¸ and today¸ physicians in England and Europe recommend a number of Raspberry preparations.
