Has anyone heard or use NORA tea

farmrose

I met my doula on Monday and she recommended NORA tea. Its nettles, oat straw, raspberry leaf and alfalfa. I've heard and read about the red raspberry leaf tea before but this was the first time I'd heard of NORA. I'm interested to hear if anyof you have used it before (or currently). I'm excited to try it.

I did NORA tea this pregnancy.  I would also let the mixture brew overnight and rewarm and drink the next day.  I just used a hand strainer to get the tea from the mixture.  I noticed a marked decrease in bleeding this pregnancy vs my other pregnancy.  I'm a believer and it tastes good too.

Thanks for the input- good suggestion about the french press!

Ooh, sounds interesting. What brands do you recommend/where do you get it?  And when should one start taking it?

I ordered the herbs separately from starwest botanicals-off of Amazon. Its two parts nettles and raspberry to one part alfalfa and oatstraw. I believe the recommendations is to start after 16 weeks.

I currently make my own tea at home with red raspberry leaves, alfalfa leaves, dandelion leaves, red clover and oat straw.  I have been drinking about a quart a day since mid second trimester.
