Since 2000, Annique Australia, has enjoyed bringing this unique product range, specially designed for the harsh southern hemisphere conditions, to you.
Rooibos' Story
We, here at Annique Australia, are happy and fortunate to be able to bring you these unique products. For the past 13 years we have been able to share these unique product ranges, specially designed for the harsh southern hemisphere conditions, with you. Many products, which are from Europe or North America, have been designed for the northern hemisphere “skins”. So often we are sold and use products that do not suit our skin or the dry Australian conditions we live in and then we wonder why they do not work for us or why we do not see any results! Annique is a must for Australia.
This is how it all began 45 years ago .......
1968 an amazing discovery!
Dr. Annique Theron stumbled on the natural healing powers of Rooibos when, one sunny April morning in 1968, she warmed her allergic baby's bottle with warm Rooibos tea. Annique was amazed at the instant calming, soothing and healing effect it had on her baby daughter of fourteen months, Lorinda. Annique set out to investigate this tea's healing potential and found she stood alone in her discovery of its anti-allergic qualities.
However, she soon found hundreds of mothers with similar problems varying from food allergies to eczema, insomnia and hyperactivity in their babies and children. Annique published her findings about allergies in children and adults in her book: "Allergies: An Amazing Discovery" Help for adults and babies Rooibos tea has been a trusted remedy for the last three decades among South African mothers. Now Rooibos' miraculous properties to cure and soothe are backed not only by scientific research and international recognition, but also by thirty years of mothers' hands-on experience
So while Rooibos can't be said to reverse the ageing process, it can be said to promote your health. And it certainly acts as a strong ally in the cause to prevent some life-shortening ailments and diseases.
Revealing research In the 1980's Japanese and American scientists found a powerful and stable antioxidant called super-oxide dismutase in Rooibos tea. In 1995 Infruitec, a South African research company, as well as Dr. Charlene Marais of the University of the Free State, found and verified that Rooibos tea did indeed have the following properties:
Anti-allergic;
Anti-spasmodic;
Anti-bacterial;
Anti-ageing;
Anti-viral;
Antioxidant; and
No caffeine, and low tannin.
"One of the most reliable methods of soothing baby both internally and externally."
A Cure for Crybabies At the 1997 International Inventions Exhibition in Geneva, Annique Theron was honored with a gold medal for the discovery of Rooibos Tea's anti-allergic properties.
Because of its natural soothing and calming powers, by replacing the water in the bottle feed with Rooibos Herbal Tea, your baby remains silent and content. Benefiting from better digestion, and deep, untroubled sleep.
Powers revealed With so many health-promoting properties, it's easy to see why the world's doctors are starting to take serious note of Rooibos Tea's potential. As more and more cases of its successes come to light, even depression and nervous conditions are falling under its soothing herbal umbrella.
