Rooibos Tea

Rooibos is a kind of herbal tea native to South Africa. It is produced from the rooibos or red bush plant's leaves. South Africans have traditionally utilized it for medical purposes, although a scientific study on the subject is limited. Despite this, a few animal and human research have been carried out. So far, studies have not demonstrated that it is useful for allergies or kidney stones. However, one study found that rooibos tea may be beneficial to bone health. According to one test-tube research, rooibos tea, along with green and black tea, may activate the cells involved in bone formation and density.

The teas also reduced inflammation and cell toxicity indicators, according to the same research. The researchers hypothesized that this is why drinking tea is linked to better bone density. Furthermore, early research suggests that rooibos tea may help avoid heart disease. According to one research, rooibos tea inhibits an enzyme that causes blood vessels to tighten in the same way as a popular blood pressure drug does. Another study discovered that consuming six cups of rooibos tea daily for six weeks reduced "bad" LDL cholesterol and fat levels while boosting "good" HDL cholesterol.
