Different foods and drinks can help to nourish your body and help to place it in an optimal state in preparation for pregnancy. Let's look at our tea formula that can help you in your pregnancy journey.
Red Raspberry Leaf Tea
Red raspberry is known for its sweet, nutritious berries however its leaves also hold a lot of nutrients and are sometimes made into herbal teas for health benefits. Red raspberry leaf tea is particularly popular for its potential to help pregnant women deal with the adverse symptoms associated with pregnancy and childbirth.
One study looked at the use of herbal remedies among 600 pregnant women. It found that 52% of women on a habitual basis made use of a herbal remedy and that 63% of them had tried drinking red raspberry leaf tea.
Benefits of Red Raspberry Leaf Tea
Red Raspberry Leaf Tea is generally recommended for the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, but some women drink it in the first trimester to alleviate nausea and vomiting.
Many women claim that drinking red raspberry tea shortens labor. A study conducted among 108 women found that those who drank red raspberry leaf tea in the final trimester of pregnancy experienced a shorter first stage of labor. In addition, it indicated that these women who consistently drank red raspberry leaf tea during their pregnancy had decreased use of forceps and other interventions, as well as a decrease in the probability of pre and post-term labor.
Red raspberry leaves contain fragarine, A plant compound used in herbal medicines to help tone and tighten the muscles in the pelvic area as well as the walls of the uterus, which may reduce menstrual cramping caused by the contractions of these muscles. In addition, it may aid in helping to make delivery easier.

Chinese Medicine and Herbs For Fertility
Each person’s body and composition are different, and at Health Wise we tailor-make solutions to your unique pattern of symptoms. Incorporating targeted herbs in a comprehensive fertility plan makes it possible to increase the chances of fertility enough to help some couples conceive.
The Chinese herbal approach is amongst the most sophisticated herbal systems that have been developed. In Traditional Chinese Medicine herbal therapy, herbs are rarely taken by themselves but are instead used in an effective combination prescribed in a formula to address your unique pattern of symptoms and improve the function of the body as a whole.
A meta-analysis found that Chinese herbs can increase fertility by two-fold within a four-month period when used appropriately. We use thousands of herbs in Chinese Medicine and each formula is uniquely customized to each patient's condition. The value of the herbs comes from using them in the appropriate combinations and correct amounts to gain their utmost effectiveness.
We recommend getting in contact with us or coming to our clinic for a proper diagnosis and taking the most appropriate herbal formula to suit your needs. Working with an experienced practitioner of Chinese medicine will increase your chances of conception.

In another study, women who were using Chinese herbs combined with DHEA for 8 weeks before an IVF cycle had better quality embryos in comparison to the control group who didn't. Click here to read more about combining Chinese Herbs and DHEA on the outcome of the quality of embryos.
Using herbal therapy alone or in combination with acupuncture in the time before an IVF cycle is often supported by Reproductive Endocrinologists (REs).
