Red Raspberry leaf & Red Clover Flowers with Marjoram

Description

This “women’s tea” with Red Raspberry leaves and Marjoram gives this tea a subtle woodsy flavor, often compared to a vegetal black tea without bitterness; meanwhile, the Red Clover flowers bring a mild, slightly sweet, earthy and almost minty balance. This tea is both considered a daily tea and consumed as needed, up to 3 cups per day.

Experts say:

Red Raspberry Leaf (Rubus idaeus)

“Red Raspberry Leaf (Rubus idaeus) has long been revered as a powerful uterine tonic, helping to tone and strengthen reproductive muscles while supporting hormonal balance. This gentle yet effective herb is traditionally used to ease menstrual discomfort, prepare the body for childbirth, and promote postnatal recovery.” [1]

“Rubus idaeus Linnaeus (RI) is a Chinese herbal medicine that has been widely used in China for a long time to reinforce the kidney, nourish the liver, improve vision, and arrest polyuria. Current pharmacological research have shown that RI exhibited anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, anti-Alzheimer, anti-osteoporosis, hepatoprotective, anti-cancer, neuroprotection, anti-bacterial, and skin-care effects.” [2] 

Red Clover (Trifolium pratense L.)

“Red clover is a useful plant for humans due to its wide range of medicinal properties and can be used for medicinal purposes like essential oil, medicinal ointment, tea, pills, and others. These medicinal products are used to treat many diseases. Red clover proved to be one of the most important medicinal plants for human health… More medicinal uses of red clover have been extended by reports that confirm its traditional use in the treatment of burns, bronchitis, sedation, heart disorders, polycystic ovarian syndrome and as antidiabetic drug.” [3] 

“A meta-analysis of all comparisons showed a statistically significant reduction in the daily incidence of HFs (hot flashes) in women receiving active treatment compared to those receiving placebo treatment.” [4]

Marjoram (Origanum majorana L.)

“Origanum majorana L. commonly known as sweet marjoram has been used for variety of diseases in traditional and folklore medicines, including gastrointestinal, ocular, nasopharyngeal, respiratory, cardiac, rheumatologic, and neurological disorders. Essential oil containing monoterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated monoterpenes as well as phenolic compounds are chemical constituents isolated and detected in O majorana. Wide range of pharmacological activities including antioxidant, hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, anti-platelet, gastroprotective, antibacterial and antifungal, antiprotozoal, antiatherosclerosis, anti-inflammatory, antimetastatic, antitumor, antiulcer, and anticholinesterase inhibitory activities have been reported from this plant in modern medicine. Emmenagogue properties of sweet marjoram should be concerned during pregnancy. Its essential oil must not be used by lactating and pregnant women.” [5]

“Upon evaluation of this trial, the results of present study demonstrated that, non-hormonal treatment options (lifestyle changes and marjoram) are viable for the treatment of VMS (Vasomotor Symptoms) in menopausal women. It can reduce the intensity and frequency of VMS. ” [6]
