Rooibos Tea

What is Rooibos tea? 

The rooibos (say, "roy-boss") plant is only 300 years old, but the Camellia sinensis plant, which makes black and green tea, is more than 1,000 years old. Rooibos is a South African plant that isn't even a real "tea" at all. Instead, it's a plant that, when picked and dried, can be used to make a reddish-brown herbal tea that the tea business calls "African red tea" or "red bush tea.".

How to use Rooibos Tea?

Brew it exactly as directed on the package for the best results. Generally speaking, for each teabag use eight ounces of boiling water or a heaping teaspoon of loose leaves. Give the tea five minutes at the very least to steep. Add sugar, honey, dairy milk, or plant-based milk to taste or drink the tea straight.

Rooibos Tea benefits:

Antioxidants in Rooibos tea have anti-inflammatory qualities that help reduce swelling and aches and pains. By making potassium ions move around the body, the anti-spasmodic chemicals in rooibos tea can also help relieve stomach cramps and other types of gut pain.

◉ Aids Weight Loss: Like drinking green or black tea, drinking rooibos tea is a good way to enjoy a tasty drink without gaining weight. Each cup of rooibos tea has only 2 to 4 calories, so you don't have to worry about ruining your diet by drinking this deliciously smokey drink. Remember that adding sugar, honey, or other sweets can make the calorie count go up, so if your goal is to lose weight, don't add too much.

◉ Improves Appearance of Skin:- Alpha hydroxy acid is found in Rooibos tea. This is one of the key ingredients in chemical peels and other skin treatments that you can get at your dermatologist's office. The alpha hydroxy acid in rooibos tea isn't found in many foods, but it can help you take care of your skin and lessen lines. In a clinical study that lasted 28 days, a mix of tea and rooibos showed that fine lines and wrinkles looked almost 10% better. Rooibos tea has a calming effect that reduces irritability and redness. This makes the face look more even-toned. Rooibos tea also has zinc in it, which has been shown to help treat face problems like acne and eczema.

Rooibos tea has an enzyme called superoxide dismutase in it. This enzyme has anti-aging qualities and helps wrinkles form more slowly. This enzyme helps make skin cells that are healthy and keep you looking young for longer. It also helps fight free radicals, which can speed up the aging process, along with other vitamins in rooibos tea. Even though more study needs to be done, there is proof that having one or two cups of rooibos tea every day can help keep skin looking smooth and young.

◉ Alleviates Pain:- Antioxidants in Rooibos tea have anti-inflammatory qualities that help reduce swelling and aches and pains. By making potassium ions move around the body, the anti-spasmodic chemicals in rooibos tea can also help relieve stomach cramps and other types of gut pain. Rooibos tea can help treat the painful signs of arthritis by reducing inflammation. Vitamin C is abundant in Rooibos tea, which helps mend collagen and connective tissue in the joints.

◉ Helps Build Strong Bones:- Rooibos tea, like real tea and many plant tisanes, has minerals in it that help build strong bones. These minerals include calcium, manganese, and fluoride. These minerals make osteoblast cells, which are in charge of making strong bone mass, work harder. Even though these important elements are in a lot of teas and help keep bones healthy and avoid diseases like osteoporosis and gout, rooibos has two other chemicals that are even better for bone health. The flavonoids luteolin and orientin, which are found in rooibos, may help raise the amount of minerals in the bones.
