The Health Benefits of Rooibos Tea:

The power of the rooibos plant is widely known in its native South Africa, where it has been consumed as a tea for centuries by adults and children alike.  Over the past 40 years, many studies have been conducted on the unique health benefits of this plant.

• Rooibos is naturally caffeine – free, and this tea’s natural sweetness can reduce cravings for sugar – all for around three calories per cup
• Rooibos is high in vitamin C, which supports immune health. It also contains calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and AHA (alpha hydroxyl acid)
• Rooibos contains powerful polyphenols and flavonoids, which are effective anti – oxidants that have been proven to reduce inflammation and cell damage from free radicals
• Rooibos has been shown to reduce histamine response to environmental allergies, as it includes specific bioflavonoids that can block histamine response.
• Rooibos has been shown to improve skin conditions such as eczema and acne
• Rooibos is naturally low in tannins, which makes this tea a perfect alternative to traditional green and black teas (which can cause stomach discomfort for people sensitive to tannins)
