Your to-do list is getting longer by the day. Your phone keeps lighting up with email notifications. You tell yourself “I should exercise more/eat better/meditate/do some journaling/catch up with X,Y and Z”... but in the aftermath of a busy day, you’re left with zero energy to do all that. You are tired, stressed, and feel like you don’t have control over your life anymore. Does that sound familiar? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Most women are living exhausting lives, trying to do it all and take care of everyone (except themselves).  Luckily, there are many things you can do to reduce stress and live a more peaceful life. Why not start small, with your very own tea ritual? It doesn’t need to be anything fancy - just you enjoying a cup of relaxing tea in total peace and quiet.  Sounds good? We have just the tea for you too. Women’s Vitality is a new product made with Ayurvedic adaptogens and other ingredients to help women restore their feminine glow and feel like goddesses each day! Read more about this unique blend. How does Women’s Vitality work? Women’s Vitality is the first Roogenic tea designed with Ayurvedic adaptogens that have long been used to improve mood, reduce stress or support overall wellbeing. Stress produces a lot of oxidative stress in the body. This can cause neurological damage in the brain which results in increased anxiety and depression symptoms.  Ashwaganda root and shatavari root reduce feelings of stress by decreasing the amount of cortisol (stress hormone) released into the body. Along with red clover, they all improve overall mood and happiness. Lemon Myrtle, Davidson Plum and shatavari root are rich in antioxidants which are essential to counteract the oxidative damage cause by stress. They are also rich in magnesium and zinc, which are generally depleted when you’re stressed.  Women’s Vitality tea is Naturopathically accredited and approved to help with stress and mood.   Lemon myrtle has been proven to be rich in antioxidants, magnesium and zinc which help reduce stress, anxiety and depression (based on studies A, B and C) Red clover flower has been proven to help support your mood by reducing anxiety and depression symptoms (based on studies A, B, C, and D) Shatavari root has been proven to help reduce stress (based on studies A and B) protect the brain against oxidative damage (based on studies A and B) and has an antidepressant action (based on studies A and B) Ashwaganda root: has been proven to help reduce stress (based on studies A, B and C) and improve mood by reducing anxiety and depression (based on evidence A, B and C) Davidson plum has been proven to be rich in antioxidants, magnesium and zinc which help reduce stress, anxiety and depression (based on studies A, B and C) Women’s Vitality is the perfect tea to enjoy anytime you need a gentle reminder to take a step back and allow yourself to be present in the moment instead of lost in the chaos.

Tea For Inflammation: Let's Reduce Inflammation With A Cup Of Tea - Roogenic

Tea For Inflammation: Let's Reduce Inflammation...

As common as inflammation is, it can make your life distinctively hard. It’s almost impossible to go about your day when you’re in pain, even if it’s just mild discomfort. Yet in some cases, people have to live with aches every day. And it’s torture. Not being able to enjoy simple activities like walking our dog in the park or playing with your little ones at their pace is one of the most frustrating feelings you can live with. Inflammation has many causes and takes many forms. It could be something temporary like a headache, a strained muscle or a wound. Or it could be something that lasts for months or years, like chronic inflammation. While treatment varies in each case and a doctor is the only one who can decide on the best course of action, there are some natural remedies that have been used for centuries to reduce inflammation and alleviate aches and pains. So why not also try the “medication” generously offered by nature?At Roogenic, we have two teas that can help you restore the best (pain-free) version of yourself. Find out more about them below. Native Anti-Inflammitea This naturopathically accredited tea had hundreds of reviews from happy customers who have experienced decreased inflammation & back pain, reduced arthritis symptoms and more. It’s unlike any pain-relief tea you’ve tried, thanks to the unique combination of ingredients: 3 native plants, turmeric, black pepper & mint. All of these have a soothing effect when consumed separately, but the real magic lies in their combined effect. Turmeric is well known for its anti-inflammatory properties, but once you add black pepper to it, the active ingredient, curcumin, is absorbed more efficiently (by up to 2000%!). The three bush plants we use (lemon myrtle, native lemongrass and wild pepperberries) also enhance the power of turmeric. Native lemongrass is such an efficient pain-killer, that i’s been studied at Griffith University and confirmed as a natural aspirin. Buy Native Anti-Inflammitea   Native Relief At our store in Fremantle markets, we often get customers asking us for our headache tea. And we instantly know what they’re referring to: Native Relief. This is a soothing blend made with lemon myrtle and native lemongrass, which have been traditionally used to help support muscle recovery, headaches, inflammation, pain relief and overall wellbeing.Since we’ve already covered the amazing potency of native lemongrass, let’s have a look at lemon myrtle, another natural wonder you can only find in Australia. This flavoursome bush plant contains citral, a compound that has been shown to have strong anti-inflammatory properties. This is not news for Indigenous communities though: they’ve been using lemon myrtle for millennia to reduce pain and inflammation.This beautiful blend also contains rose petals, which are high in vitamins A and E and can help with healing connective tissue.   Buy Native Relief Try these two unique teas if you want to help your body fight off inflammation the natural way. It might not be an instant solution, but it’s a healthy option for long-term use and can change your life for the better if you give these one-of-a-kind bush plants a chance.

The Hidden Health Benefits of Native Bush Foods - Roogenic

The Hidden Health Benefits of Native Bush Foods

Bush foods are finally starting to get the attention they deserve and that’s something we Aussies should celebrate. They don’t only boast unique flavours, but many bush foods are also true nutritional powerhouses, packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Discover a few of our favourite bush foods with “hidden” health benefits you might not be aware of! Kakadu Plum, the new winter remedy Gubinge is a small, yet potent fruit that has been consumed by Indigenous communities for ages, thanks to its high nutritional value. Not only does it have the highest concentration of vitamin C compared to ANY other fruit in the world (the equivalent of 50 oranges), but it’s also packed with iron, copper and antioxidants. No wonder Kakadu Plum is one of the most popular winter remedies in Australia. It can fortify your body and stimulate the immune system, which is so important during the much-dreaded flu season. Our customers love the delicious Gubinge powder - they usually sprinkle it on cereal, desserts or simply take it with a glass of water each day. Buy Kakadu Plum Lemon Myrtle, a grumpy gut’s best friend Lemon Myrtle is the main ingredient in our Native Detox tea and one of our all-time favourite bush foods. It’s literally a gift from nature. Studies have shown that the high concentration of citral promotes gut health and has an anti-bacterial and anti-microbial effect AKA it reduces the levels of bad bacteria and raises the level of good bacteria.Consuming Lemon Myrtle can help you regulate your digestive system, naturally eliminate toxins and also boost the immune system (there’s a lot of interaction between the body’s immune system and bacteria in the gut).                                   Buy Native Detox Tea Wattleseed, a great source of protein Choosing high-quality sources of protein can be a hassle, especially if your diet is plant-based. Luckily, there are quite a few options for you, including one delicious bush food that you’ll fall in love with: wattleseed. If you haven’t tried this yet, do yourself a favour! It has a unique nutty aroma - a delicious combination of hazelnut, coffee and chocolate. As such, it perfectly complements chocolate dessert and can be added to different dishes to enhance flavour or even to sauces as a thickening agent. Another great thing about this bush food? It has a very low GI (glycemic index), which means it contains slowly digestible carbohydrates that produce a more gradual rise in the level of blood glucose and keep you feeling fuller for longer. Buy Wattleseed Quandong, Australia's most potent skin superfood The Quandong isn’t just great in fruit pies, jams and desserts… it’s also amazing for the skin. This is thanks to the high levels of antioxidants that fight free radicals, vitamin C, vitamin E and plenty of minerals.Whether you consume quandong on a regular basis or use it in skin treatments, it’s known to rejuvenate, soothe and hydrate the skin for a bright, even complexion.

Full Body Detox: Our Top 5 Tips to Cleanse Your Body and Mind - Roogenic

Full Body Detox: Our Top 5 Tips to Cleanse Your...

Detox is one of those topics we could spend all day talking about, especially when we see how dangerous some fads can be. In an ideal world, kicking those toxins out of your body wouldn’t be difficult or time-consuming. Unfortunately, our modern lifestyle can put a lot of pressure on our bodies (think of all the chemicals, sugars, oils and pesticides we ingest every single day!). While it’s not possible to safely “flush out” toxins through extreme measures, you can give your body a helping hand by making healthy choices whenever you can. Read on to discover our top 5 tips to cleanse your body and your mind the safe, natural way. 1. Break up with sugar Sorry to be the bearers of bad news, but… if you really want to help your body detoxify, the best way to do it is to reduce sugar intake (or eliminate it completely, if that’s an achievable goal for you).By ditching the sugar and replacing it with wholesome and satisfying alternatives, your energy will remain stable, your brain will be less foggy, your skin will be healthier and you’ll be sleeping more deeply. 2. Dry skin brushing This is one of our favourite tips for a full body detox. Your lymphatic system is the garbage disposal unit of your body – it collects toxins and waste from your cells and takes them to be removed. So it’s a great idea to make sure the lymphatic system is working as efficiently as possible to get rid of that toxic waste.A brilliant way to do this is by dry skin brushing every day before your shower. Grab a skin or body brush and do short, firm strokes in the direction of your heart starting from your feet and going up your legs, at your hands and going up your arms, down your neck and shoulders, up your stomach and back until you circle your heart. 3. Drink detox tea We’re not talking about those aggressive blends with unpleasant laxative effects. When we say “detox tea” we mean a brew that helps your grumpy gut by restoring healthy bacteria. And this is exactly what our Super Detox Tea does. The main ingredient, Lemon Myrtle, is a Native Australian plant rich in citral, an active compound with strong anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties. It’s an excellent plant for a natural, gentle detox your body agrees with.                                  Buy Native Detox Tea 4. Eat the rainbow (in veggies) We all know veggies are phenomenal for us, but did you know that different coloured veggies help us in different ways? Here’s how.Your green and white vegetables, such as broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower and kale, help boost your phase two liver detox pathways. Your purple, blue, red, orange and yellow veg are rich in antioxidants and polyphenols which feed your good gut bacteria that are also essential to help you eliminate toxins. Not to mention each colour comes with a different set of vitamins! Munch on 5 cups of veggies per day and aim for veggies that are every colour of the rainbow to make sure you are getting an assortment of nutrients. 5. Sleep like a baby While you’re sleeping, your body is actually working hard to reboot, so that you can start a new day as fresh as a daisy. Most of the natural detox process your body undergoes takes place at night (that’s when the liver eliminates toxins most efficiently). So it comes without saying that sleeping well can only help your body detox. Too bad it’s easier said than done! For most of us, good, restful sleep is a distant memory, buried underneath a pile of worries and stress-inducing thoughts. If you can relate to that, we recommend you give our sleep elixirs a try. Native Relaxation and Native Dreamtime are two teas made with Jilungin, a plant that has been traditionally used in the Indigenous community to induce deep, relaxing sleep. Thousands of people have tried these teas and have noticed a major difference in the quality and consistency of their sleep. Buy Native Relaxation Buy Native Sleep We hope these tips help you feel lighter and become the best version of yourself without “punishing” your body with ultra-strict diets and detox hacks.
