Rooibos Tea

Rooibos is a broom-like member of the legume family of plants growing in South Africa's fynbos.The name rooibos means "red bush" in Afrikaans, due to the red color of the tea. Rooibos helps treat various skin disorders, including eczema and acne. High levels of flavonoids encourage the body to destroy unwanted pathogens.

Rooibos is rich with the enzyme superoxide dismutase (Superoxide dismutase is necessary for the production of healthy skin-producing cells) making it an excellent anti-aging substance and it also fights wrinkles by neutralizing the free radicals that cause them. It is a powerful anti-oxidant. Its anti-bacterial property is another advantage, as it can treat and alleviate bacterial infections on the skin. Rooibos also has high levels of many minerals and vitamins that promote healthy skin, especially zinc and vitamin D.

Rooibos tea is used in traditional South African medicine because it is claimed to treat all manner of skin problems such as acne, eczema, sunburns, itchy rashes, allergic reactions and general irritations.
