Rooibos, the key to stress relief?

13 May 2009

According to studies conducted in South Africa and Japan, Rooibos has shown to have a remarkable calming and soothing effect on the central nervous system and can play a role in relieving health problems such as insomnia, irritability, headaches, nervous tension, hypertension and stress.

Stress afects the central nervous system, which is linked to health, emotions, well-being and the overall functioning of our body on a day-to-day basis.

One of the most common supplements taken is magnesium, an element that is vital for the proper functioning of the central nervous system. A lack of magnesium may cause our nerve cells to become excitable and reactive, resulting in messages not being passed around the body effectively. Other side effects of a lack of magnesium include muscle spasms, cramps, tension and stuffiness. Millions of people suffer daily from magnesium deficiency without evening knowing it. Rooibos tea contains magnesium so drinking it every day can prevent a lack of magnesium in the body and provide for a healthy and strong central nervous system.

Rooibos, being naturally caffeine-free, can heal the body and mind.
