Red bush tea, also known as rooibos tea, which literally means red bush, is an herb that grows from a small shrub which only thrives in a region near Cape Town, South Africa. Its health benefits have been valued in South Africa for centuries, but this sweet-tasting, healing tea is becoming increasing popular throughout the world.
Packed with powerful antioxidants
Red bush tea contains lots of powerful antioxidants, including quercetin, which is known to help protect against all sorts of illness and disease including cancer, diabetes and heart disease. In addition to this potent substance, it also contains a high concentration of two lesser known antioxidants, aspalathin and nothofagin.
These polyphenol antioxidants help fight free radicals which can help slow the aging process, reverse visible signs of aging and protect against disease. These compounds also offer nerve relaxing properties that may even reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
Better digestion
As the tea contains a high level of flavonoids, particularly quercetin, this compound has the ability to encourage healthier digestion and supports the digestive system in a number of ways.

GFP Note: We know there's a whole lot of controversy over the plant, and we'd like to point out that radioactive tobacco with poisonous additives is not the same as naturally grown tobacco. Tobacco is able to pull radioactive elements out of the soil, which means it's monumentally stupid to grow it with radioactive fertilizer, but that's exactly what happens. They use radioactive phosphate fertilizers, which are a cheap byproduct of Uranium mining. It's no mystery why people get cancer from radioactive smoke and having radioactive tar stuck in their lungs. We highly recommend growing your own, or getting it from a source you're sure doesn't use radioactive fertilizer.
HJ: The body speaks to us just as loudly as our thoughts, but we must learn to first interpret and understand what it is trying to say. Typically, the language of the body is spoken through feelings and tactile sensations, some of which can be uncomfortable — especially when they are alerting us to a health challenge or something that is out of balance. It’s extremely important not to immediately try to surpress or escape from these feelings but truly tune into what the deeper message might be.

A naturally occurring chemical in turmeric, curcumin, has recently been found to lessen the neurotoxic effects of fluoride. In a laboratory study using mice, it was found to have a significant effect in preventing fluoride-induced neurodegeneration (brain damage). A study a few years ago also found that curcumin is effective in stimulating the growth of new brain cells, so it looks like turmeric is something quite beneficial to your brain.
