Yerba Mate

Yerba Maté, or Maté as it is often called, is a South American herb that has won many admirers in wide-ranging parts of the world. In the search for a natural stimulant devoid of side effects and toxicity, Maté currently holds the most hope. An invigorator of the mind and body, a natural source of nutrition, and a health promoter par excellence, Maté deserves the attention of every person interested in optimum health. 

There is so much information out there about Maté, but we will give you a small preview here.  Yerba Maté was introduced to colonizing and modern civilizations by the Guarani Indians of Paraguay and Argentina. It has seemingly always been the most common ingredient in household cures of the Guarani.  Among the native Guarani the natural use of Maté for healthful purposes has persisted. They use it to boost immunity, cleanse and detoxify the blood, tone the nervous system, restore youthful hair color, retard aging, combat fatigue, stimulate the mind, control the appetite, reduce the effects of debilitating disease, reduce stress, and for insomnia.  In modern Argentina and Paraguay, Maté tea has become ritualized in a manner reminiscent of coffee and green tea in Western and Eastern countries.

In Summary...Yerba Maté is and can be helpful with all of the following:

 ♦ A healthful alternative to coffee - Maté is a stimulating herbal beverage that awakens the mind and body without the nervousness or jitters associated with coffee.  It contains about 1/2 the caffeine of coffee and black tea.
