Rooibos Tea has been a trusted solution for the above conditions for the last three decades amongst South African mothers and more recently, mothers worldwide.
Rooibos Tea contains the soothing and relaxing flavonoid quercetin with anti-spasmodic properties and luteolin an anti-inflammatory antioxidant. Rooibos tea has a dramatic calming and soothing effect when added to allergic babies' bottles and promotes good sleeping patterns.
Furthermore, Rooibos has anti-allergic properties because it contains the unique flavonoid aspalathin, which only occurs in the Rooibos plant.
Scientists have found that Rooibos Tea has the following properties:
 Anti-allergic  Anti-bacterial  Anti-ageing  Anti-spasmodic  Anti-viral  Anti-oxidant  No caffeine  Low tannin  Rich in Minerals  Anti-carcinogenic
The tea goes through strict pasteurisation and sterilisation processes to ensure it is up to baby's standards! The Tea has a naturally sweet and fruity taste. Even better, no sweeteners are necessary. Because Rooibos Tea is low in tannin, it will not deplete baby's own natural iron reserves.

The Tea does not replace baby's normal bottle or breastfeeding, but is a Nutritional, Anti-Allergic, Calming Supplementary drink. Replace juice or water with Baby tea for a nutritional supplementary drink, you can even use Baby tea instead of water, when mixing baby's normal bottle-feed. Rooibos Baby Tea contains all the essential minerals and trace elements needed to give your baby the best start in life.
Favoured by families worldwide, Rooibos Tea is highly regarded for its unique health benefits and has powerful rejuvenating and antioxidant properties. ROOIBOS TEA IS GOOD FOR MUM & DAD TOO!
In combination with the tea's naturally high Vitamin C content (1,5mg/ml), they act as anti-oxidant compounds to protect your family against diseases like cancer. The Rooibos plant contains a number of different flavonoids, which help to neutralise the effect of these free radicals. Anti-oxidants help to reverse and prevent free radical damage to our bodies.
The Japanese, who have studied Rooibos Tea extensively, and in particular its anti-ageing qualities, actually call Rooibos tea "Long Life Tea".
She strived to gain all the knowledge she could and to utilise the full potential of the plant's unique properties. At that time, there was hardly any information available on the natural therapeutic properties of Rooibos Tea and Dr Theron set out to find out as much as she could about this remarkable plant through her own investigations. The Tea had such a calming and soothing effect on her own allergic baby daughter that she felt she wanted to share it with mothers all over the world.

In 1968, Dr Annique Theron made the amazing discovery that Rooibos Tea not only alleviates allergies internally, but also externally.
Dr Theron published a book: Allergies: an Amazing Discovery on the anti-allergic qualities of the Rooibos Plant.
Dr Theron received International Acclaim from the World Intellectual Property Organisation in 1997 and received the Woman Inventor of the Year Award for her discovery of the beneficial properties of the Rooibos Plant, Aspalathus linearis and for the application of her Patented Rooibos Extract in skin-and healthcare products.
Rooibos Tea is a healthy and nutritious drink for the whole family, from Baby to Grandma and Grandpa.

Rooibos Tea – The Tea of South Africa!

Rooibos or Redbush as it is more commonly known is red tea that is grown only in the South African highlands. It comes from the plant Aspalathus linearis, rather than the Camellia plants that produce traditional teas, such as Black, Green or Oolong tea. The name Rooibos, an African slang word of Dutch origin meaning "Red Bush." Rooibos tea is a distinctive red colour and its taste is also unique with a very sweet and slightly nutty flavour.
The minerals contained in a cup of Redbush tea are: As well as being decaffeinated with low tannin content, the tea contains Vitamin C and many minerals and can almost be considered a nutritional supplement. Rooibos contains a variety of antioxidant substances, some of which are entirely exclusive to the Redbush plant.
Zinc
Manganese
Alpha-hydroxy (great for the skin)
Magnesium
Copper
Iron
Potassium
Calcium
Fluoride
Various studies have shown the many health problems that can be helped by drinking Rooibos tea on a regular basis:
Can be used to treat hay fever, asthma and eczema
Placed directly on the skin, it can slow the aging process
Boosts the immune system
Eases irritability, headaches, nervous tension and insomnia
Acts as an anti-spasmodic agent, to relieve stomach cramps and colic in infants
Contains no oxalic acid, so people who are prone to kidney stones can safely consume it
A small amount of Redbush tea added to milk could soothe babies and help ease symptoms of colic. Mothers in South Africa have long been aware of the benefits of Rooibos tea and it is traditional to give this tea to children.
Why not have a cup of Rooibos tea now? It is the perfect caffeine-free alternative to black tea!

The Health Benefits of Rooibos Tea

The tea has no caffeine and only half the tannin of ordinary tea. Apart from being refreshing to drink, in place of ordinary tea and coffee, it has the advantage of containing minerals and powerful antioxidants. Having no oxalic acid it also does not irritate the kidneys.
The Japanese scientists, who did studies in the 1960's, discovered Rooibos contains a powerful antioxidant similar to SOD which is thought to retard aging and quercetin which is believed to have potent anti-inflammatory properties. Besides that Rooibos is also found to contain aspalathin which counteracts the atherosclerotic processes that result in heart disease. Due to this the Japanese promote it as an Anti-Aging Tea and import large quantities of the tea.
Polyphenols help protect the body from damage by free radicals. In South Africa research found that the polyphenol content in Rooibos is similar to green tea. Research was done elsewhere where the French found that hair lotion containing Rooibos promoted faster hair growth with improvement in the hair condition and caused no allergic reactions.
Rooibos has been found to be helpful with general health problems. It relieves digestive problems, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps and constipation. Having a calming effect it helps with irritability, insomnia and depression.
Both pre natal and breast feeding Mothers supplement their intake of manganese, calcium and fluoride drinking Rooibos and therefore promote strong teeth and healthy bones in their babies. Rooibos, when applied at every nappy change, relieves nappy rash and when drunk by the baby relieves colic.
Preparation of Rooibos is the same as ordinary tea. First warm the tea pot with boiling water and then place one teaspoon of tea or tea bag per cup required in the pot. Pour over boiling water and let infuse for a few minutes. The longer it is left before drinking the more antioxidants the tea will contain. Can be served plain, with hot or cold milk or lemon. It can be lightly sweetened with honey or sugar or just left without any sweetening. Rooibos also makes a wonderful ice tea.
Just replace the water in a recipe with the tea. In South Africa Rooibos Tea is often used in day to day cooking as not only does it add important minerals and antioxidants to the diet and help digestion, it also enhances the flavors of the cooking.
Next time you are in your health shop or in a department store stocking specialty teas, why not pick up a packet and try it out?
