Sara,

How much tea do (did) you use per quart of water? I see people saying an ounce, but that is a lot of leaves! Could they possibly mean fluid ounce which would only be 2 TBLS?

Thanks! dustin

Sarah…no, it’s really high in good stuff for everyone. In addition to being a uterine toner, it contains vitamins A, B, and E, as well as calcium, phosphorous, iron, and an acid neutralizer.

Is this herbal tea only for those who are pregnant?

I used RRL in my last 2 pregnancies and I definitely saw a difference! I barely bled, during labor and afterwards. It still lasted a long time (6wks) but it was super light. In both deliveries my midwives commented on how little blood there was. Im a believer!

Congrats! I haven’t been online in a while and I didn’t know!! RRL tea is the bomb, though. I took the capsules since I really am not much of a tea drinker. I think that they helped.

I drank this like it was going out of style when I was pregnant with my daughter and had a great all natural labor and birth. I also would add a little dab of honey and drink it cold. I found the easiest way for me to make my quart a day was to use my french press coffee maker….just pour the boiling water over the leaves and let steep. I like your idea too though I don’t have empty tea bags. Where do you buy those?

Just a little fyi- You can purchase a metal tea ball or a tea infuser which works great. You can also purchase unbleached cotton reusable tea strainers. Just google it

Good for you, Sara for drinking RRL tea by the quart. I tried it (for two days) just a cup and could barely drink that!

Is there a trick for making yourself like herbal tea? I’m generally a coffee kind of girl and the only tea I really like are black and chai with sugar and milk.

Does anyone have tips for getting to like herbal tea?

Dallass— Red raspberry isn’t for everyone. If you already have had a history of preterm labor, I would not take it. I love herbs and natural remedies, but I have learned to use them cautiously as I would any drug, especially in regards to my pregnancies. I made the mistake of taking red raspberry during my first pregnancy because someone told me that it was safe and that I would have a great pregnancy and delivery. Shortly after I went into preterm labor at 31 weeks and had my son 9 weeks premature. It was a long, scary, expensive road to recovery. Maybe it was a coincidence, maybe it wasn’t, but I will go the rest of my life wondering if that was why. I took no herbs with my second son and delivered a beautiful, healthy baby, one week over due. In my opinion this particular herb is unnecessary for a healthy pregnancy and benefits that it may have are not worth the risks.

I love RRL tea! I drank it through out my entire pregnancy and I am so happy I did! I had absolutely the ‘cleanest’ birth ever! A must in my book!
