Historically, the Raspberry plant (Rubus idaeus) has been used by pregnant women to stimulate labor contractions and ease morning sickness symptoms. It was also used to prevent miscarriage, alleviate discomfort during the prodromal stage of pregnancy and enhance cervical ripening. It has been ingested by women for centuries in the form of herbal tea, but smoking this herb allows for its benefits to be delivered directly into your bloodstream through your lungs.
Smoking raspberry leaf is a healthy alternative to tobacco cigarettes because it does not contain any nicotine. Moreover, raspberry leaves have a substance called ellagic acid that can help turn nicotine into serum cotinine, making it easier for the body to get rid of it. This makes it an excellent substitute for people who are trying to quit smoking.
Raspberry leaves have a variety of health-boosting benefits, and they are rich in vitamins, minerals, flavonoids and tannins. The leaves are also a good source of potassium, vitamin B and C. They are often paired with other herbs such as mullein and chamomile when making herbal cigarettes, and they have great expectorant properties.
This combination of herbs is a relaxing blend that has been designed to relieve stress and anxiety. It contains raspberry leaf, mullein, marshmallow and chamomile and is perfect for smokers who want to wind down after a long day or simply relax before sleeping. It is a great pick me up for when you feel down or unmotivated and will have you feeling refreshed in no time.
