Beauty Herbs and Tea
Ancient beauty secrets are back in fashion – from jade rollers and dry brushing, to tea being used as skin care product! Tea is now becoming the next big trend.
Our herbal beauty teas contain ingredients designed to hydrate, nutrify and detoxify your body while offering ample amounts of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that support healthy hair, skin and nails from within!
Dandelion Tea
Dandelion may seem like an unsightly yard weed to some, but this flower holds incredible medicinal potential. Long used to cleanse livers, and therefore supporting beauty from within out. Dandelion flowers also provide essential vitamin A (which helps prevent wrinkles and signs of aging) as well as K – essential components in protecting against cataracts and maintaining bone health.
Dandelion tea is naturally diuretic, meaning it promotes urination and decreases water retention in the body. This makes dandelion tea an invaluable detox tool, helping rid yourself of excess sugar and toxins that build up over time, as well as reduce blood pressure by flushing away waste from your kidneys and keeping them functioning optimally.
Drinking dandelion tea can give your body an effective dose of antioxidants to protect against oxidative stress and premature aging, including beta-carotene and other vitamins and minerals that have numerous health benefits – one cup contains over 112% of your recommended daily vitamin A consumption and 525% of potassium intake!
Dandelion roots are an excellent source of iron, helping boost energy levels and maintain normal blood pressure levels. Additionally, their roots have long been recognized for being digestive aids that stimulate insulin release in the body – something which helps control blood sugar levels as well as improve tolerance in diabetics.
Studies have demonstrated that dandelion root extract can aid in treating cancer by killing cancer cells and inhibiting their proliferation, offering a safer and more natural approach than chemotherapy, which can potentially harm immune systems and kill healthy cells as well.
Make tea from fresh or dried dandelion root by washing its leaves and flowers thoroughly prior to placing in a mug with hot water for 10-20 minutes of steeping time. Or roast dandelion roots by peeling away their outer layers, washing, drying in an oven and grinding before use in 3 to 4 grams per cup of water three times daily as part of your routine tea-drinking experience.
Redbush Tea
Redbush Tea, more commonly known by its Afrikaans name “rooibos tea,” is an herbal infusion made from the leaves of Aspalathus linearis plant. The name rooibos refers to its deep red color caused by fermentation process; hence the Afrikaans term. Similar to green tea in terms of anti-ageing properties and antioxidant content; caffeine free with many beauty-related advantages both inside and out.
Rooibos tea contains zinc, an essential mineral that aids skin repair, healing wounds and protecting against UV rays. Additionally, its soothing qualities may soothe irritated skin while aiding acne breakouts. In addition to being rich in antioxidants like Aspalathin and Nothofagin that combat free-radical formation, it also boasts calcium, zinc and manganese for bone and tooth health benefits.
Regular consumption of rooibos can keep your complexion looking young and radiant, whether that means dabbing on sunburn areas with a teabag or using it to soothe aches and pains by infusing some into your bathwater for maximum effect.
Rooibos Tea
Rooibos tea is packed with antioxidants and minerals that are great for beauty purposes, making it a natural way to exfoliate skin and promote a radiant glow. Furthermore, this naturally sweet beverage requires no additional sweeteners like sugar.
Rooibos stands apart from traditional tea options by lacking tannins that could potentially harm pregnant and nursing mothers, and is also an excellent way to ease itchy or irritated skin conditions. Its benefits also extend beyond pregnancy.
Rooibos not only contains anti-aging benefits, but is also rich in antispasmodic compounds to relieve stomach aches. Furthermore, its vitamin and mineral-rich makeup provides an effective immune booster and can fend off invading pathogens.
Due to its abundance of antioxidants, rooibos can help lower cholesterol and protect against heart disease. Furthermore, its action as an ACE inhibitor relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure – providing significant benefits for those living with diabetes or heart disease as well as decreasing stroke risks.
Rooibos tea’s anti-inflammatory properties may help to lower stress hormones that increase appetite and fat storage, making rooibos an excellent aid for weight loss. It’s therefore an ideal beverage to help people shed excess pounds.
Rooibos can also be used as a skin moisturizer and applied directly onto a sunburn to soothe irritation. Or alternatively, its tea can be used as a facial mask to remove impurities from your skin – simply combine lukewarm plain rooibos tea with honey or milk before applying directly onto the face and neck for 15 minutes prior to rinsing off. Or for even better results add a few teaspoons to bath water as an instant skin hydrator; add this tip after cleansing your face – for best results use after cleansing your face as this will last! For best results try pouring hot boiled rooibos over freshly washed or conditioned hair for 20 mins prior to rinsing off.
Jasmine Tea
Jasmine tea is created by adding fresh jasmine flowers to green or white tea leaves, creating a fragrant beverage with light green color and rich, sensuous fragrance. Its sensuous fragrance often helps enhance beauty of skin tone as well as treat stress related conditions, while at the same time providing essential antioxidant protection against premature aging and illness.
One of the primary benefits of jasmine tea for your health is that it helps improve cardiovascular wellbeing. Thanks to its anti-oxidants, jasmine tea may help lower bad cholesterol levels in your blood, thus decreasing risk for heart disease and stroke. In addition, jasmine tea contains vitamin C which boosts your immunity against diseases like common cold.
Jasmine flower petals in this tea are said to contain an aromatic fragrance which helps relax both body and mind, relieving tension and anxiety. Jasmine tea’s scent may stimulate an area of your nervous system which aids relaxation while at the same time stimulating GABA release in your brain which has mood-enhancing properties.
jasmine tea’s antioxidants also provide protection from free radicals that damage cells and contribute to premature aging, while simultaneously helping maintain healthy blood sugar levels and increasing metabolism.
Jasmine tea offers many advantages for those trying to lose weight, particularly its natural diuretic properties, which help flush toxins out of the body and speed up metabolism – contributing to faster weight loss and helping control appetite by making it easier to resist unhealthy cravings. Plus, its low calorie count makes it a great way to cut back on caloric intake!
