Blackberry Leaf

Blackberries, like their cousin, the raspberry, have long been known for their benefits in herbal medicine. Likewise, blackberry leaves can be used to treat a variety of ailments. The leaves are full of flavonoids, vitamins, and antioxidants. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting benefits mean blackberry leaves are excellent for healing sore throats, mouth sores, diarrhea, wounds, and hemorrhoids. When applied topically, the leaves can also be used as toners, washes, and lotions thanks to their anti-aging properties. Blackberry leaf extract has also been confirmed by recent medical studies to have antimicrobial properties effective against Helicobacter pylori, the bacteria responsible for causing stomach ulcers.
