4. Zumbani provides effective defense against infectious diseases
Bacteria, fungus and viruses are the three known causes of infectious diseases. Zumbani has antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. It is therefore, very effective at fighting a wide spectrum of infectious diseases caused by these microorganisms.
5. Zumbani minimizes the chances of developing amaemia and gastrointestinal diseases
A number of research studies have shown that Zumbani has the lowest tannin content compared to most herbal teas. Zumbani therefore, minimizes the chances of developing amaemia since large quantities of tannins obstruct the absorption of iron, which may lead to anaemia if consumed for prolonged periods. Furthermore, Tannins also have a tendency to bind to proteins which consequently can lead to gastrointestinal problems by tempering with the structure of digestive enzymes in the gut.
6. Zumbani is a super food
Zumbani Tea has a strong sweet-smelling natural lemon and citrus flavour. The tea grows organically and is caffeine-free and has a soothing, refreshing and calming effect. The tea has nutraceutical properties since it contains both nutritious and medicinal properties. To enjoy Zumbani Tea, put 2 teaspoonfuls of crushed Zumbani Tea leaves into a cup. Pour fiercely boiling water into the cup and brew for 3 to 5 minutes. You can take the tea without adding any sweetener, or alternatively you can add a little honey.
Because of the misinformation they have been given for years, most people have lost out on the healthy benefits that herbal teas have been giving to the people of Africa, for centuries. But now that several empirical research studies have confirmed the robustness of herbal teas, and more specifically Zumbani Tea, in reducing the risk of a number of diseases, it won’t be long before we begin to see more and more Zumbani products promoted. You can however take advantage of the knowledge you now have and start enjoying Zumbani Tea today!
Please note that whilst they have excellent nutritional and health benefits, nutraceuticals should not be used as an alternative to proper medical attention. You still need to consult your doctor when using them to fend-off or manage any ailment.
