Synopsis

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

Raspberries (mixed) have been used in traditional medicine, particularly in European and some Asian folk remedies, to help manage colds and fevers. The most common preparation is raspberry leaf tea, which has been used to promote sweating (diaphoresis) and thereby purportedly help reduce fever. Additionally, the berries themselves, rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants, have been consumed both as food and for their potential to support immune function. However, while there are some anecdotal and ethnobotanical reports supporting these uses, the direct evidence for raspberries effectively treating colds, especially those accompanied by fever, is limited. Scientific studies on raspberry's antiviral properties or its ability to reduce fever in humans are lacking or inconclusive. Some laboratory research suggests raspberries contain bioactive compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, but this does not directly translate to clinical efficacy against colds or fever. Thus, the use of raspberries for colds with fever is primarily supported by tradition rather than robust scientific validation.
