Rooibos Tea Information:
Pronounced “roy-boss” and means
“red bush” in Afrikaans. Studies have shown this tea is
comparable to green tea in the amounts of polyphenols it
contains. It shows anti-mutagenic, anti-carcinogenic,
anti-inflammatory and anti-viral activity.
Rooibos is totally pure and natural. It contains no colorants
or preservatives.
Rooibos helps delay the aging process! The aging of our bodies
is caused by toxic compounds called free radicals which are
produced as a by-product of normal cell function. These free
radicals attack our healthy cells. Over our lifetime this
damage contributes to aging and our immune system weakens.
Recently, Japanese scientists have found that Rooibos tea
contains a mimic of the enzyme Super Oxide Dismutase (S.O.D.),
an antioxidant which attacks the free radicals and limits
their damaging effects.
Rooibos helps to relieve stomach ulcers, nausea, constipation,
and heartburn.
Have a cup of Rooibos before you get ready for bed to ensure a
good night’s sleep! Rooibos has been found to help with
insomnia, disturbed sleeping patterns and headaches. It
contains no caffeine and has a relaxing effect on the central
nervous system.
Rooibos helps to give you strong bones and teeth because of
its calcium, manganese and fluoride content.
Rooibos helps pacify infants with colic, stomach cramps and
sleeping problems. Simply mix some Rooibos tea with expressed
breast milk or formula. It is 100% natural with no colorants
or preservatives. It is a mother’s miracle.
Rooibos contains alpha hydroxy acid and zinc for healthy,
smooth skin. This wonder tea is especially useful when applied
to skin irritations like itchy skin, eczema, sunburns, diaper
rash and acne.
Put used rooibos tea bags in the refrigerator or freezer.
After a hard day’s work, put on tired or red eyes to soothe
and relax.
Rooibos contains magnesium which is necessary for a healthy
nervous system.
Rooibos increases the absorption of iron in the body.
Rooibos contains potassium and copper minerals that are
necessary for several metabolic functions.
Rooibos is often prescribed for nervous tension and mild
depression as it makes a relaxing sedative.
Rooibos contains no oxalic acid and can therefore be enjoyed
by persons suffering from kidney stones.
Rooibos helps to control your appetite thus can be beneficial
in weight loss.
Rooibos helps you recoup after a hangover.
Rooibos makes a great thirst-quencher and sport drink. Because
of its mineral content of iron, potassium, zinc, manganese and
sodium, it restores the body’s equilibrium after strenuous
exercise.
Rooibos is very versatile! Drink it hot or cold, with or
without milk, sugar or honey. Add lemon or mix it with fruit
juices for a lovely blend. Rooibos tea is also used in cooking
and baking. It replaces the liquid content in recipes for
soups, marinades, sauces, stews and cakes for added flavor and
nutrition.
And Rooibos tastes divine! It is less bitter than most teas.
