Raspberry leaf tea: balances a women’s reproductive system and prepares the body for pregnancy. It helps prevents miscarriages, helps with exhaustion following childbirth and postpartum depression, helps with the production of milk, and fortifies the mother’s milk with vitamins and minerals.

Nettle leaf tea: balance out hormones, enhances egg production and removes toxic estrogen from plastics and pesticides. 

Red clover tea: nourishes, detoxifies and builds up the body

Men and fertility

And remember, YOU CAN GET PREGNANT!
