RED RASPBERRIES- (Rubus spp)
Raspberries prefer light sandy
(loamy) soil but will grow in
clay soils if well drained.
Similar to prepairing soil for
"Asparagus" you can mix
some well rotted compost and
manure into the ground before
planting.

Traditional Usages
There have been five varieties
distinguished of this common plant and
found north to Alaska,south to New
England, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Iowa,
and in the west to Arizona.
Tribes such as the Pawnee, Omaha and
Dakota used to boil a decoction of black
raspberry roots for dysentery. The fruit
was listed in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia
from 1882 to 1905 as a flavoring.

Recent Scientific Findings Show
Red Raspberry leaves contain high
concentrations of TANNINS, which is
most likely responsible for the
antinauseant, antivomiting,
antidiarrheal, and astringent effects of
this plant. A vast literature exists
supporting the numerous folkloric
claims for this plant.
Various species of Raspberry have
been shown to: induce ovulation,
relax the uterus, act as a diuretic,
stiumulate immunity, Kill Viruses
(including herpes), Control
glucose-induced high blood sugar,
promote insulin production, kill
fungi, and stimulate interferon
induction.

Being very useful to women. One
study showed that Raspberry leaf
prevented the typical
hyper-growth effects of chronic
gonadotrophin on ovaries and
uterous, while another study
showed that raspberry leaf relaxes
uterine muscles. In the later study,
tea consentrates were tested on
several species of animal. If the
smooth muscle of the uterus was
"in tone," the water extraxt of
Raspberry leaf relaxed it. If the
muscle was relaxed, the herb
caused contractions.
Other studies show antiviral
activity in cell culture against
vaccinia virus and strong antiviral
activity (in cell culture) against
herpes virus II; also soxsackie
virus, influenza virus, polio virus I,
and reovirus I.

Red raspberry is used as a basic
herbal foundation for all female organs
and problems. Strengthens wall of
uterus and entire reproductive system.
-decreases profuse menstral flow. Has
been used as a preventative for
hemorrhaging during labor. Assists
labor,makes delivery easier and relieves
afterpains. Tones and regulates
before,during and after childbirth.
Increases and enriches milk for
lactation,can be combined with
marshmallow tea.

I know what your probably thinking, With a
farm to run and a family to raise...Who has
time to "make tea" for your animals.
At first I hesitated to suggest this. Then I
thought of the many heroic stories that I
have heard shepherds share about the
lengths they have gone to save a baby lamb
or a sick sheep. So I decided to include
what I do for my flock as winter wears on
and lambing season approaches.
As you have been reading about raspberries
you can see how good this is for the female
organs and toning the uterus. Something
that also can apply to our sheep and
especially the yearlings.
Here in Northern Michigan, we have some
long cold winters and many below zero
mornings and a lot of times, I need to take a
gal.or so of hot water out to loosen gate
latches or to help break ice in pales. So
throwing a few tea bags into a gal. of hot
water is no trouble.
In mid. January when the temps fall below
zero I am hauling water from the house
anyway.
So this is my routine...
I have an old coffee pot that I run clear
water through. I put 3 large tea bags in the
pot and let the clear water run in and turn
the pot off and let this set. When it cools I
add this to a 5 gal. pail of water. you can
boil the water on stove or even use very
HOT tap water.This can also be done the
night before. (The sheep don't need it warm
but they do like that on a sub-zero
morning.) For best results this should be
done during gestation. If this is not
practicle, then after the rams are removed,
but if your going to do this at all, I would
suggest at least 8 weeks before lambing.

You can buy Raspberry
tea at most grocery
stores. Do check the label
because I have found that
some brands will just say
"RASPBERRY FLAVOR"
I did start purchasing
mine at a health food store
to make sure I get real
raspberry tea with no
additives. I use "Alvita"
brand.
