Re: Does Anyone Have Any Experience With Vitex Agnus Castus?

Hi Diana, raspberry leaf tea helps to tone the uterus, while pregnant, and particularly after having a baby, or in peri-menopause. Too much can cause the uterus to contract which is not good if you happen to be pregnant.

I have found about a cup a day to be very useful, and my daughter found it excellent after having her last baby, as it was safe to have while breast feeding, and helped her uterus to be back to normal pre-pregnancy size, in about 3 weeks. I recommend one cup a day, as more than this can cause cramping during menstruation, by the uterus contracting strongly, for some women.

I would also depend on the strength of the tea or supplements you are taking.

The jiaogulan tea is a fantastic adaptogen, and you can have as much as you like of this one. It can also be taken as a powdered herb, but I like the tea, so prefer it this way.

Nettle tea, well there is so much that is good about nettles, and it helps the adrenal glands as well. There is some good info on nettles here on this forum.
