Folklore, Tradition & Etymology
Raspberry leaf, from the hardy Rubus idaeus—known as 'hindberry' in old English folklore—has been a staple in European hedgerows and healers' gardens since medieval times. Wise women brewed it as a 'women's herb' to support comfort during labour and maintain natural womb equilibrium, its red berries symbolising vitality and the leaf embodying quiet strength. In Scottish tradition, it was carried by midwives to support well-being during deliveries, whispered to hold the 'rasp' of protection against evil spirits.
