Hey there! Let me tell you a bit about Bitters. 💫⁠
⁠
When you taste something bitter, it activates receptors on your tongue and even throughout your body, kicking off a bunch of good stuff. It stimulates the vagus nerve, which helps with digestion by getting those digestive enzymes and bile flowing. Plus, bitters support your liver and can even help with blood sugar and cholesterol levels.⁠
⁠
I’ve been adding bitter foods like arugula, dandelion greens, and radicchio to my meals to help get my bitters in but you can also use bitter tinctures like single herbs such as gentian root or wormwood or a blend like the Bitter tincture I create. ⁠
⁠
Just a heads-up, though – if you’re someone with a cold, dry constitution, you might want to use them mindfully. But overall, bitters are a great way to boost your digestive health and keep your system running smoothly!⁠⁠⁠⁠

Red Raspberry offers a unique taste— astringency, felt as a puckering sensation. This flavor enhances the tone of lax tissues and organs, overshadowing mild sweetness, sourness, and bitterness. The bitter flavor signifies a downward energetic motion, beneficial for the female reproductive system. Sweetness indicates nutritive qualities, providing essential vitamins and minerals. The sour taste suggests a cooling action, effective for issues related to excess heat, common among Rosaceae plants.

Energetically, Raspberry leaves are cooling, drying, and astringent, valuable for addressing heat-related symptoms and damp/relaxation tissue states. Despite being drying, they are recommended for dry/atrophy conditions, showcasing versatility. Understanding tissue state progressions is key.

In damp/relaxation, “free secretions” occur, causing fluid leakage through sweating, urination, and other relaxed conditions. Astringent herbs like Red Raspberry impart a drying effect but help retain moisture by providing tone and structure to tissues. Raspberry leaf benefits dry/atrophy tissue states resulting from excessive fluid loss.

Red Raspberry’s pitta-pacifying qualities and anti-inflammatory properties balance the heat/excitation tissue state. Rich in flavonoids, it reduces hyperactivity, heat, irritation, and inflammation. It acts as a nutritive tonic, bridging the gap between food and herbs. Consuming Raspberry leaf as an infusion or enjoying its vibrant berries strengthens weakened tissues, ideal for those with nutrient deficiencies and the dry/atrophy tissue state.

Combining Raspberry with other nutritive tonics like Alfalfa, Oat Straw, and Horsetail creates a nourishing blend. Adding a moistening agent like Marshmallow is recommended for long-term daily consumption, especially for those on the dry side.

With its astringency, Red Raspberry tones relaxed tissues, replenishes lost minerals due to damp/relaxation, and tightens lax blood vessels, making it a hemostatic herb. Safe for daily consumption, it’s a gentle remedy for conditions leading to bleeding, such as menorrhagia and hemorrhoids.

Unlocking the Secrets of Astringents: 🌿✨✨⁠
⁠
Tannins, the powerhouse constituents behind astringent action, work their magic by bringing proteins together, tightening and toning our tissues. That's why they give that puckering sensation in your mouth and a feeling of dryness by limiting the secretion of fluids from mucosal membranes.⁠
⁠
But here's the twist: Astringents don't just dry things up! Their true power lies in enhancing the relative tone of our tissues, transforming lax and flabby areas into firmer, more vibrant ones. ⁠
Imagine it like a guitar string being wound tighter and tighter—the same way an astringent works on our tissues. So, while they may induce a dry sensation, it's not about moisture content per se. It's about boosting the overall tonicity of our precious tissues! ⁠
⁠
Remember, astringents are all about finding that perfect balance.⁠⁠⁠⁠
