My primary herb blend is Red Raspberry, Red Clover & Nettle. I started
using it while trying to get pregnant as all three are touted as
fertility enhancing herbs. They are also considered good during
pregnancy and breastfeeding. This blend provides a great deal of easily
absorbed calcium and iron which I need right now because I am
breastfeeding. It is one of my main sources because my son is allergic
to s.t. in cow's milk (i.e. if I drink it, the neighborhood knows about
it!). I have also used chamomile tea for calming and digestive purposes
and peppermint for any type of stomach upset and as a hangover cure (my
German professor in college taught me this one!). I also add 1 - 4 bags
of herb tea to black tea when making iced tea. I have heard that
chamomile tea is good as an insect repellant provided one applies it
frequently.
