African wisdom has been passed from generation to generation through the oral tradition of story telling. It is because of this philosophy of generosity that today we are able to benefit from the learnings of our African ancestors and it is through living a generous life that we ensure wisdom passes on and is made richer and more relevant by its passing through us. We all have a role to play in passing on what we know and learn through our own experience, it is through sharing that together we grow.
Local African body care range, Imbali, was created to celebrate this wisdom and to share it with others. All of the products in the Imbali range contain indigenous plant oils and extracts that have been used for their health and emotional benefits for many generations. One such ingredient is the health promoting Honeybush Tea.
Honeybush (Cyclopia intermedia)
Honeybush is a herb which grows only in small areas in the mountainous regions of the Cape and was given its name due to the honey-like scent of its flowers.
Honeybush is rich in minerals such as iron, potassium, calcium, copper, zinc and magnesium and is known for its soothing and relaxing effects. When drunk as a tea it has been used to counter headaches, irritability, tension, insomnia and depression. Honeybush is naturally caffeine-free and rich in antioxidants, which are recognized for their free radical fighting and anti-ageing properties. Honeybush is also known to help relieve skin irritations and to soothe the skin.
Imbali has harnessed these benefits in its Refining Hand Scrub and Pampering Foam Bath, which both contain organic Honeybush extract to soften and soothe skin and to minimize irritation.
Imbali bath and body products can be purchased from selected Pick n Pay and Spar stores or online www.imbalibodycare.com
