Rooibos Tea: Rejuvenating Technology for Skin and Body
By Ansie Earle
Currently, tremendous interest and research are being
focussed on anti-oxidants and their role in helping to reverse and
prevent free radical damage to the body. Enzymes and anti-oxidants
protect the body against the harmful effects of these free oxygen
radicals. The best known of such enzymes is called SOD (super-oxide
dismutase).
Worldwide studies have shown that people who take
anti-oxidants live longer and healthier lives. Anti-oxidants are essential
for the removal of free radicals, which can cause premature ageing
and can cause diseases such as cancer.
Anti-oxidants include vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene,
vitamin E, vitamin C and SOD or super-oxide. Because of the polluted
environment that we live in, it is not always easy to get access to
the natural anti-oxidants like vitamin E and vitamin C.
Rooibos Tea, (Redbush Tea) is well known all over
the world and regarded as safe to drink for its health benefits.
Scientists have discovered that the Rooibos plant
(Aspalathus linearis) contains nine types of flavonoids. Four of these
flavonoids, specifically quercetin, luteolin, isoquercitrin and rutin
are very powerful.
Flavonoids like the quercetin found in Rooibos, help
to neutralise free radicals and in combination with the tea’s
naturally high Vitamin C content (1,5mg/ml), they act as anti-oxidant
compounds thus protecting the body against diseases and premature
ageing.
Rooibos has Anti-inflammatory and Anti-allergic properties
that can be very helpful in the treatment of eczema. Rooibos is also
Caffeine free, Rich in Minerals and Low in Tannin.
Thanks to Rooibos tea’s natural powerful, rejuvenating
and antioxidant qualities it is also excellent for use in skin and
