Generations of South Africans have been enjoying the
natural 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 from the cold, windy, south-western tip of Africa.

Dr. Annique Theron stumbled on the natural healing powers of Rooibos when, one sunny April morning in 1968, she warmed her allergic baby’s bottle with warm Rooibos tea. Annique was amazed at the instant calming, soothing and healing effect it had on her baby daughter of fourteen months, Lorinda. Annique set out to investigate this tea’s healing potential and found she stood alone in her discovery of its antiallergic qualities. However, she soon found hundreds of mothers with similar problems varying from food allergies to eczema, insomnia and hyperactivity in their babies and children. Annique published her fi ndings about allergies in children and adults in her book: “Allergies: An Amazing Discovery”.
In the 1980’s Japanese and American scientists found a powerful and stable antioxidant called super-oxide dismutase in Rooibos tea.
In 1995 Infruitec, a South African research company, as well as Dr. Charlene Marais of the University of the Free State, found and verifi ed that Rooibos tea did indeed have the following properties:
• Anti-allergic;
• Anti-spasmodic;
• Anti-bacterial;
• Anti-ageing;
• Anti-viral;
• Antioxidant; and
• No caffeine and very low tannin from pure Rooibos leaves.
Rooibos tea is enjoying increasing popularity around theworld.

Nutrition from Mother Nature
Because Rooibos tea is low in tannin, it won’t deplete baby’s natural iron reserves during pregnancy or feeding while the protein absorption and metabolism 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 natural sweet taste there is no need to add sugar or honey to baby bottles. Parents will love it too.
