Raspberry Leaves

[mizzaster]

Beginning of last year, I bought 16 oz. of raspberry leaves for my moody mare. A friend of mine fell in love with her and bought her before I had a chance to use them. So, I bagged them up and put in freezer. If anyone would like them, they're yours for the postage. I think they would still be good.

i'd like them if you still have them--i'll pm you with my address.

And if she decides she doesn't want them, I'll take them. :) Just pm if she doesn't want them.

I'll be third in line! ;)

Please tell me more about these rasberry leaves. What are they used for ? How do you use them ?

Thanks for your responses. Will let you know if Suz doesn't want them.

I ordered mine from a great little herb site. I got a pound (I believe that's twice what you get with Mare Magic), of raspberry leaves for $10 with shipping at herbco.com. So if someone else can't order on line/find any around them, you can pass them on to someone other than me. :)

Lizabet: Raspberry leaves are used to try and help 'moody mares'. There is a supplement called Mare Magic that is made entirely of raspberry leaves. It claims that it will help calm your mare (although it does work on geldings too). Just buying a bag of leaves is cheaper though, although Mare Magic is already pretty cheap...

Thanks Rascalboy, I hadn't heard of them ever before.
