Detailed
research on the wonderful properties of Rooibos Tea
has been done at a variety of institutions around the world. Results were
published in several medical journals and periodicals over the years and
suggest the following:
v
Rooibos fights cancer!
Rooibos is super high in anti-oxidants –
Rooibos contains a number of powerful flavanoids and enzymes with
antioxidant powers!
These natural plant
chemicals not only shield the body from cancer, they actually kill cancer cells
outright!
v
Rooibos protects the heart!
The anti-oxidants in Rooibos protects your
heart since they minimize cholesterol build-up en prevent blood clots. It is
reported that four cups of tea can lower your risk of heart disease by as much
as 69%!
v
Rooibos Tea fights insomnia and anxiety!
Caffeine
can be harmful to the central nervous system, causing irritability, high blood
pressure and erratic sleep patterns. Sixty percent of tea drinkers experience
insomnia and anxiety because of the high caffeine intake when they drink too
much regular tea. Rooibos contains practically NO caffeine (less than 1 mg of
caffeine per cup). Even decaffeinated green tea contains 30 mg caffeine per
cup!
v
Rooibos Tea fights the aging process!
Free radicals are
toxic compounds produced in our bodies during normal cell function. These free
radicals attack healthy cells and contribute to aging and the decline of the
immune system. The
antioxidants in Rooibos scavenge on free radicals, limiting their damaging
effect!
v
You will feel more energized when you switch from regular tea to
Rooibos!

Rooibos is as low as 1/10 of normal tea. Tannins in regular teas can strip you
of up to one third of
your diet’s iron -
which can leave you with chronic fatigue.
v
Rooibos contains no oxalic acid:
People suffering from
kidney stones can therefore freely drink Rooibos.
v

Rooibos can as a
result be enjoyed in unlimited quantities throughout the day.

The mineral content of
