Deestar-
In the U.S. you can buy it at specialty tea shops in loose leaf form. That's how I drink mine. My naturopath said that's the most potent way to drink it.

Traditional Medicinals makes it and you can get it at Fred Meyer... just so you know. Thats the one I drink

Ok i made it to holland and barratt to get some and i bought 2 boxes so far.
Im just on my first cup and i had to put a little sugar in to sweeten it a bit but its tasting good so far!
does anyone know how many cups we should be having a day at 34 weeks etc and how much by 40 weeks?
thanks all

Ive been drinking this since 37 wks.. I actually like the taste of it, I put a drizzle of honey in with mine though.. Makes it taste yummy!!

I've been advised by my midwife not to start taking Rasberry Leaf Tea till I'm at least 36 weeks. I've just read that a few of you have taken it earlier. Has it been OK to take before 36 weeks? Have you had any adverse effects?

Thanks

you are supposed to have one cup a day and work your way up. it gives me BH!!

i took this with my last baby in the tablet form from 32 weeks and it really made a BIG difference - i would reccommend it to everyone!! my first 2 labours were 36 hours and 10 half hours (long labours run in my family) so decided to give raspberry leaf ago and although my son was back to back it was by far my easiest labour - i was only at the hospital 40 min before i pushed him into the world with 2 pushes!! will defo be stocking up on this soon

I think I might start taking it from 32 weeks then instead of 36 weeks.

Cheers ladies

I was wondering about when to start as well. I'm 32 weeks tomorrow. Should I start it then? xx xx
