Health Benefits

Appreciation for the nourishment of bamboo has existed for centuries in Asia, with locals reaping the wide range of health benefits it provides. Bamboo is rich in the natural skin-cell rejuvenation chemical silica, aiding a bright and revitalized complexion. But with this plant beauty is not just skin deep… The leaves are high in antioxidants, and when brewed into a tea can cleanse and relax our bodies, removing harmful oxidants built up from the stress of our busy lives. Our tea does not contain caffeine and encourages the deep rest and relaxation that we all crave as we try to unwind, giving you the time you need to restore your energy.

Beauty

Silica is seen as the ultimate mineral for supporting the structure and integrity of hair, skin and nails, which makes sense when you consider that it is responsible for the strength and flexibility of the bamboo trees too. Having a lower level of silica in the body as we age can affect the regeneration of collagen, which keeps us young beyond our years, and it’s the high concentration of silica in bamboo which makes it the perfect tool for keeping us young inside and out.

Mentality

Our busy lifestyles are putting increasing pressure on our brains on a daily basis, leaving it vulnerable to stress and disorders. Lignin in the bamboo leaf is proven to serve as a natural shield against apoptosis (or self-induced cell death), which is linked to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s diseases. And it’s not just the bamboo that aids our brain function as the Flavonoid-rich Sophora Japonica is also widely used for the treatment of brain illness in Chinese traditional medicine.

Respiration

Each year more people are affected by respiratory conditions, such as asthma and COPD, due to an increasing amount of harmful substances in our environment. The bamboo leaf is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can effectively treat respiratory problems and alleviate all types of coughs by soothing the throat. Mixed with honey, the bamboo leaf tea will clear the respiratory system of thick mucus and eliminate the painful sensation in the chest, as has been shown in recent studies.

Immunity

Antioxidants can act as naturally occurring shields against free radicals, which can cause illness and ageing. Multiple studies are examining the possible cancer-fighting effects of antioxidants, which can be found in abundance in bamboo leaves and Sophora Japonica – two of our tea’s key ingredients!

Digestion

Bamboo leaf tea is recommended for consumption after a heavy meal. Once brewed into a tea, bamboo leaves release a group of chemicals known as anthraquinone, which aids digestion. It also acts as a natural laxative and provides relief from constipation.

Reproduction

The bamboo leaf also contains flavonoids, which help regulate cellular activity and fight off free radicals that cause oxidative stress on your body. Flavonoids have been found to boost concentrations of six reproductive hormones in our bodies that are essential to mammals, and can even ease irritation during PMS by relieving some symptoms.

Spine

Silica has been shown to help improve the mineral density of our bones, giving us the strength we need to relieve daily issues with hip and lower back pain, that have been increasing in recent years with the amount of time we spend sitting down and minimizing our mobility. Mineral density is a pinpoint of bone strength, but it’s not just our spinal health that can improve; silica also accelerates collagen synthesis which can help us to revamp our joints and other connective tissues.
