South Africa is experiencing a cold and wet winter and, as a result, many people are looking for ways to boost their immunity. Of course, the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic has also changed the way in which people view their health, with many looking for ways to stay as healthy as possible.
IOL recently published an article in which they set out some of the key reasons why people ought to turn to Rooibos to give their bodies the boost it needs to ensure good health. Rooibos increases the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines (compounds that fight inflammation) and reduces the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (compounds that promote inflammation).
Adele du Toit, spokesperson for the SA Rooibos Council (SARC), explained further about Rooibos as an immune booster: “It is packed with polyphenols, which are micronutrients with antioxidant activity. Polyphenols act as scavengers of free radicals throughout the body, which are detrimental by-products of cell metabolism that can cause inflammation.”

| According to the latest newsletter by the SA Rooibos Council, studies have shown that herbal plants and medicine may be an alternative way to protect the heart against disease.
Under the guidance of Dr. Gerald Maarman at Stellenbosch University, Pamela Sithelo investigated the ability of Rooibos to protect heart cells against the toxic effects of a molecule called angiotensin-II, (AnII), the same molecule involved in the development of high blood pressure. Heart cells were exposed to high levels of Ang-II to induce excessive growth and death, after which cell viability was measured.
In this first-of-its-kind study, it was shown that Rooibos prevents angiotensin-II (Ang-II) from causing excessive growth and death of heart cells.

| Die naam "Rooibos" word nou beskerm op dieselfde manier waarop kalamata-olywe en sjampanje beskerm word.
Dit beteken dat 'n produk net as Rooibos bestempel mag word, indien dit in die erkende en aangewese gebiede (in die Wes-Kaap en Noord-Kaap) verbou is en onderhewig was aan baie spesifieke prosesse.
Op Saterdag, 3 Julie, het Ruhann Steyn van Noordwes-Universiteit oor Rooibos se erkenning deur die Europese Unie, en die belangrikheid daarvan, op RSG gesels.

| The Baccarat Hotel in New York has noted that Rooibos tea is one of the most popular drinks it offers guests on their menu. In their latest newsletter, the SA Rooibos Council spoke to Gabrielle Jammal, a tea sommelier at the hotel about this phenomenon.
She says that although many guests enjoy drinking it as is, she enjoys pairing it with white and nutty cheese, or even chocolate to create a memorable taste experience. Guests often choose crème caramel Rooibos as a dessert tea as a sweet, creamy and totally guilt-free treat, thanks to a smooth-tasting base of caffeine-free Rooibos.
According to Jammal, the hotel also includes Rooibos as part of its popular high tea offering.
