At somedays, all of our products are uniquely and tailored designed to promote healing by leveraging the best and most effective natural ingredients.

We do this because we understand that natural ingredients offer more sustainable and long term support with pain, especially when compared to medical based solutions which are much more reactive and temporary.

Natural ingredients are also more safe to consume and use consistently or as needed to decrease and improve pain related symptoms and issues. Calendula, arnica, lavender, chamomile and wintergreen are just a few of the herb and plant based ingredients that are known for their anti-inflammatory and healing benefits that are implemented in various somedays products.

They have each in their own way been proven very effective in helping individuals heal their pain in general, and chronic pelvic pain more specifically.

It’s a full bodied tea that offers a delightfully fruity and tart robust taste similar to black tea. Read on to learn everything you need to know about Red Raspberry and how it's the perfect addition to your existing period pain relief routine. 


Red Raspberry Leaf Tea Benefits

Red Raspberry Leaf is an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant rich herb that has long been used for uterine health in traditional medicine practices.

It is rich with minerals such as potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc and calcium. It also contains high amounts of Vitamin A, B,C and E.

Vitamin B helps with relieving nausea, sleep, and cramping related issues while Vitamin C works to boost the immune system which is often compromised and slightly weakened during the menstrual phase of a female’s reproductive cycle.

However, Red Raspberry Leaf’s most significant health property is its immense antioxidant benefits. The leaves contain powerful polyphenols (which are micronutrients) that act as antioxidants in the body when consumed and help protect cells from damage while simultaneously supporting their regeneration.

Red Raspberry leaves have been known to ease PMS, endometriosis, and menopause and other menstrual related issues and chronic conditions. The high vitamin and mineral content of this herb works to balance the hormones which ultimately helps to decrease the severity of mood swings.

The polyphenol antioxidants contained in Red Raspberry Leaf plants support improving pelvic related pain symptoms as well as regulating the course of the menstrual cycle. Frangarine will help to tone and tighten muscles in the pelvic region that spasm and cause painful cramping.
