Dr. Oudhia and others: I have a question for Dr Oudhia or any body that may know:
In urban ethnobotany in vicinity of NYC immigrant women and Herbalists from established euopean descent or native groups use infusions of rubus spp as a uterine tonic esp in preganancy... MY QUESTION: since this grows abundantly in the uttarachanchal , foot of the himalyas etc.... do local herbalists, old wives tales list this leaf for similar use?
