Partridgeberry is an old folk remedy for "female troubles."  Native Americans relied on this herb to help facilitate all aspects of childbirth, including labor, delivery and expulsion of afterbirth.  Used several weeks before expected delivery, Partridgeberry is thought to stimulate the uterus and encourage a safe and easier birth.  It is also used to promote suppressed menstruation and relieve painful menstruation.

TYPICAL PREPARATIONS: Berry tea and infusions have been used by Native American women for centuries. The uses are mostly traditional, and recommended by practitioners of holistic medicine. There's no supporting research, but the anecdotal evidence is strong.

PRECAUTIONS: Partridgeberry has been found to be safe, although it may have abortifacient qualities if taken in large enough quantities, so please only use under the guidance of a qualified herbal practitioner if you are pregnant.
