What kind of bad experience did you have? Red Raspberry Leaves are a
traditional tonic herb for pregnant women. See Rosemary Gladstar's book
"Herbal Healing for Women." From the time I discovered I was pregnant with
my third and youngest child, I drank a tea with this herb, nettle, alfalfa,
and spearmint daily. All herbs should be treated as medicine. What
difficulties did you have by ingesting this particular herb?
