Buy Organic Raspberry Leaf: a traditional herb for women’s comfort
Les Jardins de Gaïa organic raspberry leaf, 50 g bag, is a traditional herbal tea prized for centuries in European herbal medicine to support women through every stage of life. Available at our Paris shop, with Click & Collect and delivery across France and Europe.
Why is raspberry leaf known as “the woman’s herb”?
Raspberry leaf (Rubus idaeus) owes its reputation to fragarine, a signature plant alkaloid traditionally believed to help tone and relax the uterine muscles. It has long been used to accompany:
- Menstrual comfort — traditionally used to help ease cramps and spasms
- Cycle regularity — supports a harmonious menstrual cycle
- Heavy flow — traditionally used for heavy periods
- Preparation for childbirth — used in the third trimester, under medical or midwife supervision
Raspberry leaf is also naturally rich in vitamins A, B, C and E, plus minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc, making it a gently remineralising tea as well.
Les Jardins de Gaïa: organic and French-grown quality
This tea is 100% organic raspberry leaf (Rubus idaeus L.), grown in France by the Sicarappam cooperative in the Auvergne region, on volcanic and clay-limestone soils, and certified organic (AB Eurofeuille). Each 50 g bag makes around 25 cups of infusion, with a smooth taste carrying subtle notes of red berries and stewed apple.
Les Jardins de Gaïa is an Alsace-based organic tea and herbal-tea house, a pioneer of fair trade in France since 1994.
How to prepare it
Use 2 g of leaves (1 teaspoon) per 25 cl of water. Pour water at around 95°C (just off the boil) and let it infuse for 5 minutes. Drink 1 to 3 cups a day, ideally in the second half of the cycle. The taste is soft and smooth, pleasant even without sugar, and can be enjoyed hot or cold.
How to use & precautions
1 to 3 cups per day, ideally after ovulation.
Not recommended during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy (uterotonic effect). In the third trimester, only under the advice of a midwife or doctor.
Frequently asked questions
Can I drink raspberry leaf tea every day?
Yes, 1 to 3 cups a day. It is traditionally drunk mainly in the second half of the cycle (after ovulation) to help prepare the uterus.
Does raspberry leaf tea help with painful periods?
This is its main traditional use. The fragarine in the leaves is traditionally said to help tone and relax the uterine muscles, which may help ease menstrual cramps and spasms.
