Red Raspberry Tincture
Product Details
Red raspberry, Rubus idaeus, is an astringent and helps tone and tighten tissue.
Many women use it for uterine health, painful cramping and uterine prolapse. It is also helps with morning sickness, production of breast milk, hemorrhaging, increasing fertility and labor pain.
European and Native American women have used raspberry for thousands of years to prepare the womb for childbirth. Thus considered a female remedy according to Matthew Wood.
The astringent action also makes it useful when toning of the upper or lower gastrointestinal tract if needed.
It can also help with inflammation in the mouth and throat, allergies, diarrhea, fevers, kidney stones and gallstones.
I foraged this plant in central Minnesota.
Comes in a 1 oz bottle come with a dropper.
I use the folk method for making all my tinctures, which uses no measurements except sizing things up with your eyes. So I put the plant material in a jar and then fill with alcohol.
Dosages -
Tinctures are meant to be used as medicine in small amounts. Add 10-20 drops to your tea, juice, water or directly into your mouth when needed.
Dosages for children are not provided in most herbals. To determine the correct dose you need to consider the size of the child, the ailment, the power of the herb you intend to use, and the adult dosage.
Young's Rule for determining dosage uses the child's age divided by twelve plus the age. The dosage for a 4 year old:
4/12+4 = 4/16 = 1/4 of the adult dose.
