Rooibos Detox Recipe

What is Rooibos?

Rooibos tea is not made from a typical tea plant like most teas but is derived from the South African herb rooibos (pronounced ROY-boss), meaning "red bush" and is called red tea, bush tea, or red bush tea. The needle-like leaves are cut by hand and bruised to encourage oxidation, which develops the rich red color and delicious flavor profile of this tasty tea varietal. Rooibos becomes redder and sweeter as it oxidizes, resulting in a sweet mild taste with notes of vanilla and honey. This delicious, low-tannin, caffeine-free tea has been used to help relieve painful teething gums, and promote better sleep for many years.

Improve your Health with Rooibos Tea

Rooibos offers tea lovers a natural, flavorful way to boost their antioxidant levels with every cup, as this palate pleasing tea offers more antioxidants than green tea. Antioxidants fight free radicals in the body, and researchers have discovered that "antioxidant therapy" represents a promising avenue for the treatment of oxidative stress, which is caused by an overload of free radicals. Rooibos tea has also been shown to have positive effects on cardiovascular health by inhibiting ACE activity. Detoxifying with rooibos is a healthy way to consume more antioxidants and daily water intake without compromising with sugary energy drinks or tasteless healthy alternatives.

The benefits of rooibos tea don't stop there! This deliciously aromatic tea also helps with blood pressure, circulation, and cholesterol. The antioxidants in red tea also help reduce inflammation, which is a major contributor to many common health problems such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and coronary artery disease. The medicinal benefits and delicious flavor of rooibos tea is undeniable. Keep reading to see a delicious detox tea to make you feel good all day long.
