Rooibos (also known as redbush tea or South African red tea) is an herbal tea made from the Aspalathus linearis plant. Rooibos tea has a number of purported health benefits. Rooibos is caffeine free. Some people believe that it may aid in relieving Allergies, and great for hair, teeth, skin, and bones, and that it may aid digestion.
Rooibos is also used in Skin Care products including soaps, lotions, and sunscreen.
Although Rooibos has not been studied as thoroughly as tea (regular black tea, green tea, and other teas from the Camellia sinensis plant), there is a growing body of evidence, mostly from animal studies, that has given some support to some of the medicinal uses and health benefits of Rooibos.
Some of the benefits that have been backed up by some scientific studies include treatment for Asthma (rooibos acts as a bronchodilator, making it easier to breathe), and protecting against radiation damage and liver damage. These benefits were all found to hold after drinking rooibos tea. Some studies have also found evidence in support of the topical use of rooibos in skin care products, finding that it provides a modest increase in protection against sunburn.
PH of rooibos tea is 6 - 6.5
Most or all of rooibos/red tea is produced in the country of South America. Rooibos is pronounced (roybus).
I have found on www.innvista.com, in their article on Rooibos that it "stands head and shoulders above the rest as an all-round healthy alternative". Rooibos does not have caffeine in it, and contains 37 powerful antioxidants which strengthen the immune system. It also has a natural sweetner in it so you do not need to put sugar with it. So yes, you can give your dogs rooibos tea its actually good for them;)
