Rooibos is native to the mountains of South Africa. Rooibos in African means, "Red bush". The fine needle-like leaves are harvested from the plant Aspalathus linearis, making a tasty aromatic tea. Rooibos is a herb that contains no caffeine and contains 50 percent more antioxidants than green tea. It is also very low in oxalic acid; therefore, it does not promote kidney stones. Today, South African physicians recommend Rooibos for infant colic and to calm upset stomach in adults and to help induce sound sleep. Topically, Rooibos is recommended to soothe dermatits and diaper rash.
