Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Raspberry leaves, particularly from the species Rubus idaeus and related varieties, have a longstanding history of use in traditional herbal medicine to manage external bleeding. Folk remedies from various cultures have employed crushed fresh raspberry leaves or poultices applied directly to wounds, cuts, or abrasions, with the belief that the astringent properties of the leaves help constrict blood vessels and promote clotting. This traditional usage is supported by the presence of tannins in raspberry leaves, which are known for their astringent and mildly hemostatic qualities. However, while these historical practices are well documented in ethnobotanical literature, modern scientific studies specifically evaluating the efficacy of raspberry leaves or other raspberry plant parts in treating external bleeding are scarce or lacking. Most contemporary references to raspberry's use for bleeding rely on its traditional reputation rather than controlled clinical trials or robust pharmacological research. As such, the evidence for its efficacy in this context remains limited to traditional knowledge and anecdotal reports, rather than being substantiated by scientific validation or clinical data.
