Useful properties of raspberries:

1. The first well-known property of raspberries is antipyretic. Due to the content of salicylic acid, which, by the way, is found in all medicines for lowering high temperatures, raspberries not only fight viruses, but also kill microbes.

The most effective antipyretic, according to traditional medicine, is raspberry tea. But! Made not from jam and warm water, as is customary for many, but from dried leaves, stems or berries. Of course, raspberry jam diluted with warm water will have a fever-reducing effect, but less effective.

 

You ask how to dry the leaves, stems and raspberries? It's simple: collect the most beautiful leaves from the bush, cut a few raspberry stalks with garden shears and rinse well. Then dry the leaves and stems with paper towels, the stems can be chopped into pieces of a size convenient for you. Put the leaves and stems in a single layer on gauze or newspaper, dry them in the fresh air or at room temperature for several days, turning them over periodically.

Rinse the berries, dry and put on a baking sheet or in a special dryer for fruits, berries, vegetables and dry at 40-50 degrees Celsius. In the same way, you can dry the leaves and stems. Store dried raspberries, leaves and stems in a cloth bag.

Health tea recipe:

4 tbsp. spoons of dry berries; 5 dry raspberry leaves; 2-3 pieces of dry raspberry stem; 3 cups boiling water.

Pour boiling water over the berries, leaves and stems, let the tea brew for 15-20 minutes and drink! Tea can be sweetened with honey or add a slice of lemon.

 

2. In addition to the antipyretic properties, raspberries are rich in vitamins C, groups B, A, E and PP, as well as potassium and copper, which positively affects the tone and color of the skin. And the contained tannins and astringents help relieve inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, so if you have stomach pains, feel free to brew fragrant raspberry tea!

3. Raspberries are also useful for those who suffer from emotional and nervous tension. The fact is that raspberries contain copper, which is also present in antidepressants, so fragrant tea before bedtime will be a tasty and useful sedative.

4. Raspberry promotes the breakdown of fat cells. Therefore, nutritionists strongly advise including raspberries in your diet, especially when they are in season. 100 grams of this miracle berry contains only 41 calories.

5. It is also worth noting that raspberries contain healthy sugar - glucose and fructose, which the human body needs for nutrition and proper functioning of the brain and cardiovascular system.

6. Let's reveal the other side of the coin: raspberries are not recommended to be eaten in large quantities on an ongoing basis, as this can cause an allergic reaction. It is also not advised to eat for people with kidney diseases, since raspberries are known as a natural diuretic.
