Hello
The answer to your question is Neither. Both raspberry and lemon are rich in vitamin C which will induce periods starving the uterus of progesterone, contrary to what you are looking for. However consumption of vitamin c will induced period only in cases where the period is either due or late and not during just any part of the cycle.
There is no "Safe way" to delay period without using a pill or without disrupting the normal cycle.
Hope this was helpful
