Red Raspberry is the best single herb that is suggested for total uterine health. It is high in many nutrients including calcium, iron, magnesium, and vitamin C. Red Raspberry is also an excellent source of an alkaloid called fragrine, which tones the muscles of the pelvic region, including the uterus itself. This is said to reduce cramps, decrease heavy cycles, and help with PMS.
