The Green Gold Yerba Mate boasts many health benefits.

Hundreds of thousands of South Americans can’t be wrong. When this little ritual was started in pre-colombian times little did the jungle running natives know that what they were creating was a future pop sensation in natural health.

One of the first health benefits you are going to notice when you start to drink yerba mate is the non-rear-entry colon cleansing effects, a reverse enema if you will. Yeah, “yuck” is right but you will feel like a million bucks once you’ve bypassed the initial “cleansing period”.

Yerba Mate also is used to detoxify. Being loaded with antioxidant, yes, even more than regular green tea, has proved time and time again why yerba mate is the tonic of choice for savvy natural health enthusiasts everywhere. If you’re a stranger to antioxidants and what they do, get with the program. Most fruits and veggies are loaded with antioxidants the primary way to reduce your risk of cancer, help fight it, and just plain have a great immune system.

I’ll leave you with that for today and let you know about a few more health benefits soon!

Until then… raise a gourd in friendship amigo!

Yerba Mate is known for many healing properties.

One that it provides, unlike it’s nasty neighbor coffee, is being an alkaline drink.

Being alkaline basically means that it will not upset your stomach like coffee is sometimes known to do. Coffee can be highly acidic and can irritate, especially after several cups. Yerba Mate is brewed from a natural tree leaf ( ilex paraguariensis ) that grows naturally in the sub tropical region of the Amazon Rainforest basin.

Alkaline also means that you can help to neutralize any irregularity you may be having in your stomach. Despite what most people think acid reflux is caused by a lack of acid, Yerba Mate can help to neutralize that.
