A new study conducted on zebrafish by researchers at Stellenbosch University (SU), has confirmed that the consumption of rooibos tea – and specifically unfermented or green rooibos – helps to reduce anxiety.
The beneficial properties of rooibos tea (Aspalathus linearis), a uniquely South African product that grows mainly in the Cederberg area of the Western Cape.
According to the study, the tea is caffeine-free and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and vital minerals and vitamins.
These also help with pain and allergy reduction, heart health, and reduces high blood pressure.
The use of Zebrafish in research is because they are genetically similar to humans.
