Spicy tea soothes body and mind

akkreditasie

For over a century, antioxidant-rich rooibos tea has been used to help ease and provide protection against colds and flu.

One of the most important healing functions of rooibos tea is that it keeps the body hydrated.

Someone who is ill tends to lose a lot of fluids from sweating (if they have a fever) and a raised metabolism as their body increases its internal level of activity to battle the infection.

Since rooibos tea is 100% caffeine-free, it will keep the body hydrated. It is recommended that one drinks up to six cups a day for maximum benefits.

Sore throats and other aches and pains that are characteristic of colds and flu, could be soothed by rooibos tea. Rooibos also has a calming effect on the body, which could help to alleviate tension and thus promote better sleep, which is essential for getting over a cold.

The following recipe is just one example of the many interesting ways rooibos tea can be enjoyed.
