Raspberry is a prickly shrub with sharply
toothed leaflets. The white, cup-shaped flowers turn into red
berries that are delicious fresh or made into jam or syrup.
The leaves contain calcium, magnesium, and iron, and relieve
diarrhea and nausea. This is one of the best herbs for women
to take -- often used during pregnancy to relieve morning sickness,
to strengthen uterine muscles for labor, and to slow bleeding
after birth. Raspberry also increases breast milk.
