Rooibos Red Tea & the Health Benefits of Rooibos Tea
By admin | April 17, 2008
Until about 5 minutes, I had never heard of Rooibos Herbal Tea. Apparently, it’s an herb that grows in South Africa and is purported to offer a variety of health benefits that range from minimizing the effects of ulcers to delaying the aging process. Below, a more complete list of the health benefits of Rooibos Tea:
- Relieves nausea, constipation, ulcers, and heartburn.
- Strengthens bones and teeth (Rooibos Tea has a lot of fluoride, calcium, and manganese, apparently)
- Delays the aging process by attacking free radicals.
- Can be mixed with milk to calm colicky babies
- Rooibos Skin Care - Can be applied to the skin to lessen acne, eczema, and other skin problems (Rooibos contains zinc and alpha hydroxy)
- Rooibos tea contains no caffeine, so it makes a great bedtime drink.
- Can be used after sports or a night of drinking to restore minerals to the body.
That’s a lot to claim for a simple herbal tea, but Rooibos definitely has a strong fan base among those who know it exists. I was really surprised to see that no major franchise carried it, but you can buy Organic Rooibos loose as you see below:
Or, if you prefer, you can get something like this Rooibos Sampler that comes with 6 tins of different Rooibos varieties. This one includes Rooibos, Rooibos Berry, Rooibos Earl Grey, Rooibos Mango, Rooibos Tropics & Rooibos Vanilla.
