Rooibos
(pronounced "ROY
- boss")
is Afrikans
for 'red bush'; (scientific name:
Aspalathus linearis).
It is a member of the legume family of plants, and is commonly used to
make a tisane ( an herbal tea). The
Aspalathus linearis plant group consists of more
than 200 species originating in the mountainous Cedarberg region of South
Africa. The leaves of the bush are harvested, bruised, and left in the sun
to oxidize, after which they acquire their red color. The resulting leaves
are then boiled or steeped like a tea in order to make a beverage that is
enjoyed both hot and cold.

Rooibos
has found its way into health and beauty
products, and is widely claimed to have been used by the ancient
Bushmen (San
people) of the region. It is free of
caffeine,
and contains
Aspalathin, a
flavonoid
present in medicinal herbs used to treat skin and circulatory disorders. It
is low in tannin, which inhibits absorption of minerals, at 4.4 percent. It
contains traces of
fluoride,
calcium and manganese.
Japanese research into the effects of
oligosaccharides,
also found in
Rooibos,
indicates that these compounds may aid the immune system in fighting viral
infections.
Other purported benefits include...
-
Anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties
-
relief of
hay
fever,
asthma
and
allergies
-
relief of insomnia and nervous tension
-
relief of
constipation,
