Rooibos has also been found to be rich in anti-oxidants and minerals (iron, potassium, calcium, copper, zinc, magnesium, fluoride, manganese, and sodium) and has 50 times more SOD than Green Tea. S.O.D. (Super Oxidant Dismutase), which acts as an anti-oxidant agent, keeps free radicals in the body in check.

Various studies have shown a variety of health problems can be helped by drinking Rooibos including the ease of irritability, headaches, nervous tension and insomnia; relief of stomach cramps and colic; and an overall boost in the function of the immune system. Rooibos also contains alpha-hydroxy acid, known to promote healthy skin.

Enjoying this blissful spa treatment at home is as easy as making a cup of rooibos tea.

Fun fact – Rooibos tea leaves can be quickly dried after picking to prevent oxidation and this is called green rooibos. When rooibos tea leaves are fermented, they turn an orange red color. The unfermented green rooibos, which is the base tea of ONO Serenity Now, has a higher antioxidant level.

An important tip: Because this homemade treatment does not contain the preservatives like its store-bought counterparts do, you will want to make it fresh before each use.
