Rooibos is known for its many medicinal properties and sweet delicious flavors. Rooibos soothes upset stomachs, aiding with digestion, calming nervous tension, and providing relief from allergies such as eczema. Rooibos is an excellent source of antioxidants, which appear to reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases including cancer.

Studies show that Rooibos can promote healthy skin, teeth, and bones as well as lower blood pressure and protect against heart disease. Naturally caffeine-free and rich in vitamins and minerals, Rooibos is completely safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children. Try Rooibos with a sprig of lemongrass.

Two flavonoids found in rooibos, quercetin and luteolin, have been known to have cancer fighting qualities. Traditional medicinal uses of rooibos in South Africa include alleviating infantile colic, allergies, asthma and dermatological problems.

Although human studies of rooibos are scarce in scientific literature, animal studies suggest it has potent antioxidant, immune-modulating and chemopreventive effects. A review found no documentation of adverse side effects of consuming rooibos tea, A recent report identified a possible case of hepatotoxicity due to rooibos consumption.

However, it is possible that the tea may have been contaminated by another hepatotoxic compound and or that the person may have had a genetic predisposition to react negatively to any one of the other bioactive properties found in the tea. It is often claimed that "Green" rooibos (see above) has a higher antioxidant capacity than fully oxidized rooibos.

However, one study, using two different ways of measuring antioxidant activity, found conflicting data, with green rooibos showing more activity under one measure, and less activity using the other. The study also found conflicting data when comparing both forms of rooibos to black, green, and oolong tea, although it consistently found both forms to have less activity than green tea.
