Many people are looking for a more effective and holistic way to manage their stress. Especially in these strange times we live in, most might be feeling a bit more pressured than usual. IOL recently published an article that sets out the amazing anti-stress properties of Rooibos tea! They quote a study by Stellenbosch University to prove the point that drinking Rooibos tea daily is an effective natural remedy for stress.

Dr Lindie Schloms certainly thinks so, and her 2015 PhD thesis from Stellenbosch University drew this conclusion: “From the results obtained during my PhD it appears that Rooibos reduces stress hormone levels in one of two ways – either by inhibiting adrenal enzymes involved in cortisol production, or by favouring its inactivation.

“The data obtained from these studies, along with previous studies reporting anti-oxidant, anti-diabetic and cardio-protective properties of Rooibos, suggests a therapeutic role for rooibos as a functional ingredient to aid in the treatment of metabolic diseases associated with elevated stress hormone levels.”

The Royal Gazette has published a long-form article on urinary tract infections (UTI’s) and how one can go about avoiding getting these infections. Those who have suffered from the condition will know that it is not a pleasant experience and if one can do something to prevent it, you should!

The publication listed Rooibos tea as one of the remedies one can use to protect your body against the onset of UTI’s! The reason for this is largely due to the fact that Rooibos is high in antioxidants, which help to keep the body clean of free radicals. Other than that, they suggested that Rooibos be used to replace caffeine, as it is a much healthier option than coffee, which is a diuretic.

The price of Rooibos has fallen from an all-time record of R67/kg in 2018, to the lowest in years this season, due to supply and demand being out of sync.

Prices have been on an upward trend since 2015, with production shortages caused by drought conditions experienced in 2017, resulting in the Rooibos harvest coming in at a mere 12 500t in 2018.

The situation had been exacerbated by a decline in demand. Martin Bergh, general manager of Rooibos Ltd, said Rooibos demand averaged around 16 000t per annum, but had declined to between 14 000t and 15 000t due to reduced local consumption.
