Fibroid tumors
by Anna on May 17, 2013

Hello! Can you tell me if this tea will help with shrinking fibroid tumors?

Is this tea safe during 1st trimester?
by Marjorie H on May 5, 2013

I ordered the making babies series and this tea. However, after watching the DVD pre-pregnancy and reading recipe in the book: there was caution to take this tea during the first trimester due to chance of miscarriage. But I read above in the description of the herb and the research behind being able to take this tea as much as you like. So I'm a little confused. I'm healthy, I eat all organic and drink and use a lot of your herbs, however I hvnt just drank this tea. So my question is: am I safe to drink this tea when I am in my first trimester?

Thanks in advance :-)

Tincture Dose
by Audrey on Apr 15, 2013

I used your recipe to make this mix into a tincture. How much do you recommend ingesting in a day? And if I add it to hot water, how much should I add to a cup?

How much per day?
by Stephanie on Mar 25, 2013

cycle regulation
by Emily on Mar 17, 2013

Is the Red Raspberry brew ideal for regulating menstrual cycles? And if I am consuming it pre-pregnancy, is there a recommended amount?

Excellent flavor
by Irina on Feb 28, 2013

Excellent flavor, pregnant or not! Drank this tea throughout my second pregnancy and it went very well, labor was super quick! and recovery time was much easier than with my 1st. Highly recommend.

Great Stuff!
by Anonymous on Feb 13, 2013

I am new to using herbs. When I made my first order, I mainly asked some of my friends what they recommended most. Almost all of them mentioned Mama's Red Raspberry Brew! So I went ahead and ordered some. Now here I am recommending it to all of YOU! =) It has been extremely helpful to me, especially during that certain time of the month we females have. ;) And my friends who used it during pregnancy have fallen in love with this stuff. I definitely want to use it when I am pregnant with my first kiddo. I don't necessarily want to publish in full detail why this brew has been so great. ...Just try it and find out for yourself!

Question about red rasp brew and fertility.
by Julie on Jan 29, 2013

In the info for this brew you mentioned its benefits in male fertility. Does it benefit in female fertility as well? Or would you recommend only your berry herbal brew for that?
Thanks!

Tea Sweetner
by amanda wells on Jan 6, 2013

I am very excited to see all the comments about the great taste of this tea.....I am about to order my first package....I do have one question about the ways to sweeten tho.....I am from the south and as you probably know....we love our tea's sweet....I have tried a brand of raspberry leaf tea pregnancy blend (not yours) and it was extremly bitter to my taste....I am not a huge fan of honey...and I don't have much experience with herbal teas....can you add sugar to sweeten without compromising the health benefits....or are there any other natural ways to sweeten?

First Trimester?
by Amanda on Dec 21, 2012

I saw a comment that you should only drink small amounts in the first trimester and have also seen conflicting info about red raspberry leaf causing/preventing miscarriage. My sister in law had a miscarriage with her last pregnancy and is pregnant again. Would this be safe for her in early pregnancy?

Peppermint and breastfeeding
by Margaret M on Dec 19, 2012

Will consuming this tea during the later stages of pregnancy affect breastfeeding? I've heard peppermint is not good for breastfeeding mothers.

Speedy Labor
by Jen on Dec 11, 2012

I have used your tea for almost 3 years. We just had our 4th child and I usually just drink this after birth. With this pregnancy I started drinking it at 35 weeks. I read a lot about drinking it while in labor to speed delivery. When I knew things were picking up I made a thermos of 2 strong cups of this tea. I waited to drink it in the parking lot of the hospital. I was holding my baby within an hour. What a great night!

Leaving out the Peppermint
by Suzy Q on Dec 11, 2012

I recently bought the herbs to put together a tea blend similar to yours (I just used your directions and recipe) However I find that that it causes me to have a feeling of reflux after drinking it. I've read that peppermint can cause this, and it's listed as something to avoid if you're having this problem which is often common in pregnancy.. I'm curious what the peppermint does for the blend, health-wise and if I could leave it out for the next batch I mix up without sacrificing the great results I read about. Thanks for being so generous with your knowledge and recipe

Hormones
by Jenna on Nov 19, 2012

I was wondering if anyone knows if Red Raspberry Tea would help with hormones? My daughter who will be 11 years old has pretty bad with hormonal balances. Just a thought if anyone has some experience with it?
Thanks!

question about Red Raspberry Brew
by Elisabeth on Jul 26, 2012

I'm 30 weeks pregnant with my first little baby. I just heard about this brew and ordered it. I'm consuming my first 8 cups today..... am I too late into the pregnancy for this to take effect or make a difference?
Thank you!

Love your book Making babies
by Lesley on Jul 24, 2012

I loved your book but this tea was in the book with how to brew it but not how to make it : ( I was wondering if you could tell me how many cups of each herb you use to make a bigger batch. I just realized it was a mix. I thought it was just Red raspberry leaf. Thank you : )

Love it!
by Karen on Jul 17, 2012

The taste is great and the results are great.

Increases milk supply
by Beth Long on Jun 20, 2012

Just wanted to thank you for this product. I've been having trouble pumping enough milk for my baby on the one day a week that I work. Even pumping on the off days wasn't cutting it. I remembered that I had a package of this from my New Mama and Baby Kit (which I LOVE). I started drinking it this week and I have more than enough milk for my 5 month old. This has also helped my energy levels and hydration status. I mix in some peppermint too and it tastes great hot or cold. Thanks!

Question about Red Raspberry Tea
by Mikki on May 19, 2012

How many cups of tea are most people drinking per day to have the effects they've been testifying about making their pregnancies easier? Is it the same amount throughout the whole pregnancy? And do you have other stories about it helping increase fertility, pre-pregnancy?

Thanks!
by Christina S. on May 5, 2011

I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful Mamma's Red Raspberry tea! I had been trying to conceive for several years and was diagnosed with Recurrent Pregnancy Loss after several miscarriages when I decided to research natural supplements to boost fertility. I suspsected a Luteal Phase defect and had awful periods. I started drinking your tea and my very next cycle was dramatically different! I conceived my daughter within just three cycles of starting your tea! The difference in my lining was significant and I fully credit your tea to the results. I've already passed the leftovers on to my sister who is having similar problems. Thank you for such a great product!

So tasty!
by Elizabeth on Feb 18, 2010

This tea blend is so tasty! I drank Red Raspberry leaf during my first pregnancy. Had a very fast and smooth labor/natural birth. Heal up time afterwards was quick too! I drank this blend religiously with my second baby who was later born in record time! Thank you for making this available! Love it!

Another Birth Success Story
by Angel on Jan 21, 2010

We just had our beautiful baby boy two days ago; and I have to tell you that it was the most amazing, quick, beautiful, natural labor I have ever experienced (this one is our 5th natural childbirth). Surely many things contributed to our wonderful birthing experience, first being God's great strength and mercy. Also the Husband-Coached Childbirth book and learning proper breathing, as well as having a great coach, midwife, support system and plan.

But one thing I believe contributed enormously to it all was the Red Raspberry Brew. I drank a quart a day (my own tolerable level--more or less for others) of this tea, with honey, for the entire pregnancy. The actual health of the baby and myself during pregnancy was great. I never had any water retention, and my energy and hormone levels were very stable. Also the progression of labor, and the effectiveness of each contraction during labor was amazing. Although my "due date" was Jan. 7, I naturally went into labor on my own (without inducing with herbs or anything at all) 6 days later. I went to the hospital at 10 pm, and was dilated to 5; and was fully dilated and pushed out our biggest baby at 11:46pm (only 3-4 pushes!) Honestly, I was still in my right mind, not believing I had just had a baby!

Thank you for the knowledge you share on your website to be able to make our lives and the seasons of our lives better!!!

Drinking "My" Tea
by Dr and Mrs Ash May on Jan 20, 2010

I am a long time happy customer of yours. I wrote to you telling about my extremely difficult first labor, and my hopes for a better second one.

During my second pregnancy, I regularly drank Mama's Red Rasberry Brew (1-3 cups a day.) Well, I am thrilled to report that my labor and delivery were fantastic!!!! Only 7 hours of manageable active labor- I was able to labor completely naturally at home with only my husband's support and calm breathing. Then, my son came with only one push! Halleluia! It was truly a miracle- brought on by God's grace and your Mama's Red Rasberry Brew. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

My family bought your New Baby Kit for me- and I have been really loving it. I am using Mama's Red Rasberry Brew to strengthen my uterus back up- and I can tell when I forget to drink it for a while- I will start bleeding again, and my husband chides me "you haven't been drinking your tea" :-) I love your products, and can't wait until I can buy more!!!!

Boosts overall well-being in pregnancy
by Angel on Nov 10, 2009

My experience with Red Raspberry leaf was all in hindsight...meaning I didn't realized that it helped me at the time!

I took red raspberry leaf with our 4th pregnancy (in 2008), though not too consistently. During my third trimester, though, I used it almost daily. I went into labor two weeks before my due date, and made a giant to-go cup with me to bring as I drove to meet my midwife. I chugged that almost 2 quart thing of tea within an hour that afternoon, and by early evening my labor completely stopped. I always wondered how and why it stopped after being supposedly so real. After doing more research, I realized that drinking the red raspberry leaf tea beforehand stopped my false labor! I actually had my baby 4 days past my "due date" :)

This pregnancy, I have been drinking a quart a day from the beginning (the Mama's Red Raspberry Brew), which is about 3 big glasses a day (sometimes more). I have more energy this pregnancy, seem to have stayed healthier, and am able to run around, homeschool and take care of our home without being depleted when my hubby gets home.

Also, I have seasonal depression in the winter/dark months which starts to creep up in the fall, and becomes a dark cloud over me for about 4 months. This is the first time I have enjoyed seeing the leaves fall, and I am truly looking forward to the winter months. That is a first for me! The vitamins and minerals in the tea, I believe, have contributed to it.

God Bless and Thank you so much!

Add Cinnamon
by Angela S. on Oct 7, 2009

I used this for my last pregnancy, and am here to buy another batch for the next one! I also add a dash of cinnamon to the tea for blood sugar reasons. And it tastes great!

Helps with Pregnancy
by Amy in Maine on Oct 1, 2009

I absolutely love this tea! I’d heard about red raspberry leaves helping with pregnancy and delivery, but only used it sporadically. I always had very long labors. Finally, with my 5th baby I decided to drink Mama’s Red Raspberry brew every single day of my pregnancy. I had less morning sickness, less contractions during pregnancy, and my labor lasted only 4 hours! Thanks for providing quality herbs and information to help us use them. (For the person who requested the mix without peppermint…I suggest buying the herbs separate and making your own mix. The Bulk Herb Store tells you the proportions of herbs to mix.)

It doesn't need honey!
by Clara on Jun 2, 2009

...I am also enjoying your "Mama's Red Raspberry Blend" tea. Just delicious. It doesn't need any honey-it is perfect the way it is.

Thank you!!

A Very Tasty Tea
by Jennifer May on Jun 2, 2009

My husband just ordered me Mama's Red Raspberry Brews, with instructions to drink several cups a day. (I have been having some difficulty with my second pregnancy). I was hesitant because I am not very reliable if my "medicine" tastes bad. Well, I received my tea yesterday and was so pleasantly surprised to find out how tasty it is! I made up a huge pitcher and will keep it filled in the fridge for the remainder of this pregnancy. I am praying that it strengthens my uterus for this upcoming labor... I will keep you informed. Thank you again, for great products and a very tasty tea- now it will be a pleasure to do as the doctor (my husband) ordered! Blessings!

What is variety is the red rasberry?
by Sarah on Nov 30, 2006

I was reading in a book you recommend, "The Naturally Healthy Pregnancy", and it said to be careful of the Rubus idaeus variety of red raspberry leaves. I have had 2 miscarriages in the past with a baby born in between. My husbnad and I are planning on trying again. Our son was born c-section, and then a miscarriage and my body is having a hard time recovering. In the book women who had repeated miscarriages were cautioned not to take Rubus idaeus. Do you have any suggestions in this area and what is the variety of red raspberry you carry?

red raspberry without the pepermint
by Lindsey Richmond on Nov 8, 2006

I would buy it without the pepermint if it was offered. I was told pepermint can decrease your breast milk. I am nuring but am very interested in the raspberry brew.

Sounds good, I have a question though!
by Margaret on Sep 24, 2006

I am planning to order the Mama's brew shortly, but I have been wondering about something.

I have heard that alfalfa is useful in preventing excess bleeding after birth, and as I hemorrhaged a good deal after my second child was born (probably due to an overextended uterus, he was 10 lbs!), I am very much hoping this is true.
Any thoughts? Or are there other herbs with an anti-hemorrhage quality that i might try during this pregnancy?

mamas red raspberry brew
by Sarah on Sep 23, 2006

I drank this tea faithfully for my second pregnancy and what a difference in labor. It went so smoothly and with much less pain. The doctors and nurses were so impressed they wanted to have the baby channel there! I'm now ordering it for my third pregnancy and excited to get started! Thanks for your great products

Red Raspberry Brew
by Barbara Siron on Aug 23, 2006

Hello again!
I would like to know if I could get the brew without the peppermint. My husband and I both love raspberry tea (herbal from the grocery store-your is going to be much cheaper in long run) I love peppermint but he does not. How about it? I buy raspberry tea a lot and would love to try yours, without the peppermint.
Thanks, again!
