Menstrual Health:
It may help to ease menstrual cramps, regulate menstrual cycles, and potentially reduce heavy periods. 
Pregnancy and Childbirth:
Some studies suggest that raspberry leaf tea may help shorten the duration of labor, reduce the need for interventions, and potentially decrease the risk of post-partum hemorrhage.
