I harvested these leaves with my daughter the other day with the intention to help her understand how learning about herbs and the natural world is an investment in her lifelong health and well-being. Part of it is about connecting her with powerful herbs, and the other part is about helping her caretake and understand her own body so she can avoid paradigms that thrive off of dis-ease.

As my daughter grows up, (oh so quickly) I am finding this strong urgency to share facts, stories, and skills with her whenever I can. The competition for her attention these days is no joke so I don’t take for granted these moments together under the sun picking medicine. I know she’ll remember her crazy Mama telling her these things.

But the thing is, she will gain natural allies by knowing these little things, and she will know how to work with them, which will give her more options. That’s important. It encourages her to trust and be in communication with her own body and the wisdom & cycles of nature. Ultimately, this knowledge empowers her to make informed choices and take a proactive approach to her own health.

We shouldn’t have to wait to slip into illness to take care of ourselves. A little bit everyday adds up and over time… it really adds up.

Red raspberry leaf offers a bioavailable alternative to man-made vitamins that delivers a full spectrum of nature's nutrients in a form that the body readily recognizes and utilizes. Unlike synthetic vitamins, which often isolate specific nutrients, red raspberry leaf provides a balanced array of vitamins, minerals, and actions that work synergistically to support our overall whole health. This natural harmony improves absorption and efficacy, making sure that the body receives not just individual nutrients, but a complete nutritional package designed by nature.

Whole-food-based nutrition over synthetic supplements for the win!
