OUR
PHILOSOPHY
Annique then set out to investigate the tea’s healing
potential and found she stood alone in her discovery of anti-allergic
qualities. However, she soon found hundreds of mothers with similar problems
varying from food allergies to eczema, insomnia and hyperactivity in their
babies and children. Annique published her findings about allergies in children
and adults in her book: ‘Allergies: An Amazing Discovery’.
Flavonoids in Rooibos work as antioxidants - a major
protagonist in preventing cancer, as well as in slowing down its progress.
Research found that, as a major cause of cancer is damage of the genetic
material, the rising level of glutathione associated with Rooibos tea could
prevent genetic damages from happening.
Due to a polyphenic-rich extract in Rooibos, this indicates
potential for use in cosmeceuticals for sun protection and as part of a
strategy for preventing non-melanoma skin cancers in humans.
Scientists believe that antioxidants in Rooibos significantly
elevate antioxidant levels in blood, boosting the body’s internal defence
system against disease. Antioxidants protect the body from the harmful effects
of free radicals.
Studies show that the tea could possibly slow the ageing
process, including the progression of dementia.
Researchers also found that biomarkers associated with
cardiovascular disease significantly reduced by drinking Rooibos tea.
A study in Japan found that aspalathin in Rooibos tea helped
to improve the glucose uptake of muscle cells in type 2 diabetes, thus helping
to maintain normal blood sugar levels.
Rooibos can help to fight allergies by boosting the
production of cytochrome P450, an important enzyme that helps to metabolise
allergens. Japanese researchers found that when Rooibos is consumed regularly
as a beverage, it helps to improve allergy status as a result of the increased
levels of this enzyme in the body.
Anecdotal evidence also suggests that Rooibos acts as a
digestive aid and antispasmodic, thereby relieving stomach cramps and colic in
babies, as well as symptoms associated with pancreatic sufferers.
Rooibos is also used to relieve nervous tension and stomach
and bowel irritation, easing the painful symptoms of urinary system diseases
such as prostatitis and cystitis.
Chrysoeriol in Rooibos acts affectively as a bronchodilator,
with an associated effect on lowering blood pressure and relieving spasms.
Assists in Balancing Hormones.
Plant-derived oestrogen, Phytoestrogen, has the potential as
an alternative for oestrogens in hormone replacement therapy.
Rooibos has a low tannin content (only 1-4%), which means
that it doesn’t inhibit the absorption of iron (something that black tea does).
Protecting the Liver
Researchers
in Spain found evidence that Rooibos protects the liver against the
accumulation of fat and can help to prevent metabolic disease. It also helps to
reduce cholesterol, tryglycerides and free fatty acids.
Rooibos tea can possibly aid in the relief of heartburn, as
it has antispasmodic properties.
Rooibos tea is frequently used as a natural home remedy to
help insomnia.
100% Good.
