SEED OIL: Red raspberry seed oil (NOT for internal use!) has a faint earthy smell that dissipates rapidly when applied to skin.   Botany, Cultivation & Harvesting:  Red raspberry is native to Europe and northern Asia and commonly cultivated in other temperate regions. Raspberry is a perennial which bears biennial stems (“canes”) from a perennial root system. In the plant’s first year of growth, a new, unbranched stem (“primocane”) will grow vigorously to its full height of roughly 5-8 feet. The stem will bear large pinnately compound leaves with five or seven leaflets, however there are usually no flowers produced during this time. In its second year (as a “floricane”), the stem will not grow in height, but instead will produce several side shoots, which will bear smaller leaves with three or five leaflets. During this second year of growth flowers are produced in late spring. These flowers will be about a centimeter in diameter with five white petals each and will bloom on short racemes on the tips of the new side shoots…The familiar and edible raspberry fruit is red. It is sweet but tart-flavored. It is produced in summer or early autumn. In actual botanical terms, the fruit is not a berry— but is instead an aggregate fruit of numerous drupelets around a central core. When collecting raspberries, these drupelets separate from their core, leaving a hollow fruit, whereas when blackberries and most other species of Rubus are harvested the drupelets stay attached to the core. Raspberry grows most typically in forests. Under a tree canopy it will form open stands whereas in clearings denser stands will be produced. It prefers full sun. Raspberry adapts to a range of soil conditions, but does best in a well-drained loamy soil. Raspberry plants are best propagated via plant division. These plants do not produce fruit the first year; they have “biennial canes” meaning that they are vegetative for their first year and then in their second year they flower and fruit, then they die and the old dead canes should be removed. The canes should not be cut back in the first of the two years because they will be the ones producing flower and fruit the following year. Raspberry leaves are harvested in the summer and dried for later use. The fruit ripens in summer or fall and can be harvested when it comes off the stem easily. Fruit may be frozen for later use. Store dried raspberry leaves in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Contraindications & Toxicity: Red Raspberry may be unsafe with estrogen hormone-sensitive conditions such as breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, endometriosis, or uterine fibroids. Due to high levels of oxalic acid, excessive consumption of raspberries can cause high gastric acid secretion that stimulates the gastric mucosa, causing stomach upset or stomach pain, and decrease appetite. Avoid raspberries if taking medications that slow blood clotting (anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs). Red raspberry leaf may slow blood clotting. Using red raspberry leaf along with these medications may increase risk of bruising and bleeding. Do not use if pregnant. Red raspberry can start premature labor.   Constituents: LEAVES: Tannins, volatile oil, citric acid, malic acid, polypeptides, flavonoid glycosides, Minerals including Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, and Selenium FRUIT: Vitamins A, C, K, Calcium, Magnesium SEED: Polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic acid, α-linolenic acid), Antioxidants (vitamin E, anthocyanins, quercetin, ellagic acid), Phytosterols (campesterol, stigmasterol, sitosterol, avenasterol, cytrostadienol), Carotenoids (zeaxanthin, β-carotene, lutein, cryptoxanthin), Tocopherols, Tocotrienols, Flavonoids, Monoterpenes     Sources: https://spiritartsandherbs.com/sources **IMPORTANT INFORMATON: Products are sold as curio items for entertainment purposes only and based upon historical and magical uses.  We do not imply or guarantee that any items provide specific abilities, powers, outcomes, remedies, or treatments.
