Drazil & Health: Health Benefits of Herbal Tea
In Drazil Juice our herbal tea blend is a mixture of Hibiscus, Rose Hips, Rooibos (also known as red tea), and Pomegranate. All of these are rich in antioxidants and contain vitamins and minerals. Each also contributes its own unique health benefits.
Hibiscus: Strengthens the immune system as it is rich in Vitamin C. Hibiscus is high in electrolytes which makes it great for replenishing the body after exercise. It has been said to help lower high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Hibiscus tea is consumed in Okinawa, Japan where the natives associate it with longevity.
Rose Hips: Particularly high in Vitamin C and thus, a natural way to prevent and treat various infections, especially colds and flu.
Rooibos: It has many of the antioxidant benefits of green tea, but because it does not come from tea leaves, it has no caffeine. Rooibos tea contains Vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, copper and zinc. Consumption of rooibos tea may relieve fever, asthma, insomnia, and skin disorders. Since it acts as an anti-spasmodic agent, it is very common in South Africa to give rooibos tea to babies who suffer from colic.
Pomegranate: Considered a ‘superfruit’ since it is thought to be extremely nutritious. Has a high amount of Phytochemicals which provides plants (and humans) protection from environmental problems like ultraviolet light.
