Japanese Research into Red Tea
Perhaps the highest testimony of the benefits of this pure and natural beverage comes from Japan, a society famous for its age-old devotion to the art of tea making. Here, Red Tea has been promoted as a healthy alternative to other cold and warm beverages.

Japanese scientist Matatoshi Nakano, has discovered that the effect of free radicals - a by-product of normal cell function - in the process of aging and decline of the immune system is limited by the antioxidants in Red Tea. If the product is brewed/boiled for longer than 10 minutes, the antioxidant activity becomes much higher.

They also found Red Tea to be beneficial in the treatment of high blood pressure, diabetes, mellitus, atherosclerosis, allergic diseases, various dermatus diseases, liver diseases and cataracts.

Health Benefits
The enormous health potential of Red Tea is becoming increasingly evident through studies done by The AICHI Medical University, Japan. The Japanese are calling it "Long Life Tea" Studies show Red Tea contains natural antioxidants, minerals, Vitamin C, alpha-hydroxyl acid, no caffeine, no oxalic acid and very low tannin content. The health properties and healing power of Red Tea are furthermore ascribed to the low tannin content and the variety of minerals it contains.

Scientific Research
It is also believed that antioxidants can play a role in preventing cancer and cardio-vascular diseases. Examples of well-known antioxidants are vitamins C and E. Red Tea is rich in flavonoids, which are very powerful antioxidants. The major flavonoid in Red Tea is aspalathin - found only in Red Tea. Herbs containing flavonoids have traditionally been used to treat capillary disorders. It is well known that flavonoids decrease the permeability and fragility of veins and lymph vessels. As a result, they are used to treat tiredness of legs, cramps and various skin and circulatory disorders. Flavonoids are often anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic, which may explain the benefit claimed for Red Tea Skin lotions and cosmetic products. Some flavonoids protect the liver, decrease blood cholesterol or act as diuretic, anti-bacterial and anti-viral substance. Others are known to improve memory and counteract anxiety. Research by Japanese scientists have shown beneficial effects relating to constipation, liver function, blood sugar levels, skin diseases, depression and anxiety. In recent studies, it was established that Red Tea possesses antioxidative activity by Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD) mimetic substances and has effects on dermatological diseases such as Behcet's disease, Sweet disease and photosensitive dermatitis. Previous investigations of the chemical constituents of Red Tea have demonstrated the presence of the flavonol, quercetin and the flavone, luteolin with their known antispasmodic properties, and five additional flavonoid glycosides, the dihydrochalcone, aspalathin, the flavones, orientin and isoorientin, and the flavonol glycosides, isoquercitrin and rutin.

Black Cumin Seed (Nigella Sativa)
References to this seed can be found in some of the oldest religious and medical texts.

Black seed, sometimes called Black Cumin was found in Tutankhamen's tomb, implying that it played an important role in ancient Egyptian practices. The earliest reference to black seed is found in the Old Testament. Avicenna (Ibn Sina, 980-1037), the renowned Persian philosopher and physician who wrote the classic text The Canon of Medicine, refers to black seed as the seed "that stimulates the body's energy and helps recovery from fatigue or dispiritedness."

Islamic medicine recognizes black seed as a natural remedy for maintaining and storing body heat and dryness. It is believed that a reduced metabolic rate (innate heat) is the cause of most illnesses. The body, in losing energy, also loses its ability to dispose of toxins resulting in a greater chance of contracting illness. The modern Western diet tends to produce phlegm (wetness). Traditionally, black seed has been used in the Middle and Far East for ailments such as bronchitis, asthma, rheumatism and related inflammatory conditions, increasing milk production in nursing mothers, digestive and eliminative disturbances, parasite infection and supporting immunity.

In studies, phytochemicals found in black seed oil suppressed asthma symptoms in a majority of patients. In other studies, black seed demonstrates immune-enhancing action by increasing the ratio of helper T-cells to suppressor T-cells as well as increasing natural killer cell function. This suggests that it could play in important role in the treatment of cancer, AIDS, and other immune deficiency states.

CAUTION: It is generally not advisable to consume black seed preparations during pregnancy.
