Rooibos, the indigenous miracle plant of South Africa
Discovering Rooibos’ miracles
Generations of South Africans have enjoyed the naturally sweet and revitalising taste of Rooibos since its discovery by botanists in 1772.
Little did they realise the powerful and natural healing properties of this rare and unique plant which only grows in the cold, windy, south-western tip of Africa.
1968 – An Amazing Discovery
Dr. Annique Theron discovered the natural healing powers of Rooibos when, one April morning in 1968, she warmed a bottle of milk for Lorinda, her allergic baby daughter of fourteen months, with warm Rooibos tea.
Annique was amazed at the instant calming, soothing and healing effect it had on her baby. Annique set out to investigate this tea’s healing properties and found she stood alone at that time in her discovery of its anti-allergic qualities.
However, she soon found hundreds of mothers of babies and children with similar problems varying from food allergies to colic, eczema, insomnia and hyperactivity.
Annique published her findings about allergies in children and adults, in her book: “Allergies: An Amazing Discovery.”
Help for adults and babies
Rooibos tea has been a trusted remedy for the last six decades among South African mothers. Now Rooibos’ miraculous properties in helping to cure and soothe ailments, are backed not only by scientific research and international recognition, but also by thirty years of mothers’ hands-on experience. If your little one suffers from colic, insomnia, food allergies, stomach cramps or eczema, Annique’s Rooibos tea is the perfect answer to your problems. It is simple to use. Simply substitute the water of baby’s bottle feed with Rooibos tea. Rooibos tea will benefit and improve the baby’s digestive system, calm your child and ensure untroubled sleeping patterns.
Nutrition from Mother Nature
Because Rooibos tea is low in tannin, it won’t deplete baby’s natural iron reserves during the mother’s pregnancy, or while feeding the baby. Protein absorption and metabolic function remain undisturbed. It also contains calcium to ensure normal development of teeth, bones and the nervous system, as well as magnesium and zinc for healthy skin and hair. Because Annique’s Rooibos tea has a naturally sweet taste, there is no need to add sugar or honey to the baby’s bottles. Parents will love it too.
