I'm really bad and tend to self-prescribe! I just had a chat to the person in the health food store, and also took a look at the instructions on the bottle. The bottle actually tells you to take three tablets five times a day - that's quite a dose, and I feel a bit nervous about taking so much! I would take the tea, but I'm not sure how nice it will be to ingest hot beverages in the middle of summer. Have you found taking raspberry leaf effective? I suppose there's no easy way to tell, is there?
