INGREDIENTS
Raspberry Leaf, Nettle, Oatstraw, Spearmint, Rosehip, Chamomile, Alfalfa.
RED RASPBERRY LEAF
Traditionally used to strengthen and tone the tissues of the uterus, in preparation for birth. Can also be taken during labour.
NETTLE
Rich in iron and supports and strengthens the whole body. Known as a “spleen” herb, it is warming and nourishing.
OATSTRAW
A great remedy for “feeding” the nervous system, especially when under stress. Oat straw is also great for skin conditions.
SPEARMINT
Excellent for the whole endocrine system, balances and calms and promotes a sense of well-being.
ROSEHIP
Essentially a calming tonic rich in vitamins and antioxidants. It is an excellent spleen/stomach and adrenal tonic – organs that tend to be affected by long-term stress.
CHAMOMILE
Calming and gently sedating. It is also anti-inflammatory and has a calming, healing effect on the digestive system. Also anti-allergic.
ALFALFA
Warming, nourishing and building, helping build strength over the last trimester with the same benefits of a ‘spleen’ herb
Can be drunk hot or chilled after brewing

Is tea good in pregnancy?
Some teas contain caffeine, which needs to be kept under 200mg a day during pregnancy. As a guide, expect a cup of white tea to contain around 15mg per cup, Green Tea 20mg per cup and Black Tea 45mg per cup.
Cacao also contains some caffeine. These teas and cacao also have significant health benefits through their polyphenols and antioxidants so can be part of a healthy pregnancy diet, as long as you are aware of your caffeine intake.
For women who love their Chai Teas, Rooibos Chai is perfect, as it is caffeine free and has no Star Anise. Star Anise is considered safe in small amounts in tea. In pregnancy you would avoid the essential oil of Star Anise or a concentrate.
Lavender is best avoided during pregnancy in medicinal quantities. It is generally considered safe in a tea form, but may possibly be unsafe, so we don’t recommend it in pregnancy.
Lemongrass is also best avoided in pregnancy due to its ability (in high doses) to initiate menstrual flow. It is excellent in breastfeeding though.
Hibiscus is not recommended in pregnancy.
How much raspberry leaf tea should you take during pregnancy?
We recommend starting with 1 cup from 32 weeks, 2 cups from 34 weeks and 3 cups from 36 weeks to prepare your uterus for labour. We do not recommend more than 3 cups per day to avoid over stimulating the uterus.
When should you start taking pregnancy tea?
Pregnancy tea can safely be consumed from 32 weeks gestation.
