Rubus sieboldii, the Molucca Raspberry, is a flowering plant in the genus Rubus. The species is native to Australia, and mid-western Asia, in the Himalaya Mountains and foothills. The shrubs prefer low wetland areas, with very good sun exposure, though the plants can tolerate moderate shade.

Uses

  • The plant's leaves stimulate blood flow in the pelvic area and uterus.
  • They are also abortifacient and astringent, lending to their use to treat urinary tract infections.
  • Molucca Raspberries are edible, and contain large amounts of antioxidant power.[1]
  • They are rich with bioactive phytochemicals, antioxidant compounds, and show stronger radical scavenging activities than blueberries.[2]
