The Plant

Mitchella repens is native to North America. Found among hemlock, you’ll often find this plant in moist forests. It is a vine which will spread and take over quite quickly. Flowers emerge in mid-summer and give way to red berries. The berries are edible and have a unique flavor. It is a threatened plant and caution must be taken if wild harvesting. It’s quite easy to grow in containers or a small plot of the home garden, but caution must be taken to keep this vine from taking over!

"I used this product faithfully starting at 35 weeks of my 9th pregnancy in hopes that it would help prevent postpartum hemorrhage (my last few birth's bleeding was quite heavy immediately after birth). I think between this and drinking RRL tea faithfully through my 2nd & 3rd trimester, I had so little bleeding my midwife could not stop making comments about "how great" it was. I gave birth in water and there wasn't any blood in the pool at all. I'm thoroughly pleased and plan to use this again for my current pregnancy." ~Mommy Scott
