Did you know that all parts of the Raspberry plant are medicinal? Evidence suggests that humans have been working with Raspberry since the Paleolithic era--quite the longstanding and revered relationship! In Western herbal traditions we most commonly work with the leaves, which are typically harvested in early summer as the plant starts to flower.

Why we love this herb:
We love Raspberry because they grow abundantly and generously--all over the world! They have been a longstanding ally to female bodies, and have rich roots in Midwifery and Wise Woman Herbal traditions. Although not every herb is meant for every body, we believe Raspberry to be a staple plant for everyone’s home medicine cabinets.
