Rooibos is a powerful antioxidant, rich in mineral salts, which does not contain caffeine. It is soothing for the central nervous system and is particularly recommended for people suffering from nervous tension or sleep irregularity.
Non-irritating to the intestinal mucosa, it does not interfere with the absorption of iron and as it contains little oxalic acid, people suffering from kidney stones can consume it without restriction.
Rooibos has the advantage of being a zero-calorie and caffeine-free preparation, which can be used daily (recommended doses are 6 cups per day) from evening to morning without risk of insomnia and by any category of person (from the youngest to the oldest).
Rooibos can also be used in cooking as cooking water for various preparations (rice, pasta, meat, fish, etc.). It is also a natural meat tenderizer, making it the ideal choice for marinades, soups and stews. It can be consumed hot or cold and can be used as a base for cocktails by mixing it with Champagne, wine, liqueurs and fruit juices.
