Finally…after almost two centuries, with decades of lab research for preventing and managing respiratory conditions, diabetes, arthritis, pneumonia, fevers and more – antioxidant, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal: delicious jungle teas.
150 years ago, thousands of European explorers had died in the jungles of Africa from disease. Africa was called “White Man’s Grave“. Then, with thousands of Europeans saved from the brink of death, David Livingstone and Robert Moffat requested a commission to investigate exporting the panacea, Zumbani (“Fever Tree/Lemon Bush“), from African jungles to mainland Europe as a medicinal commodity; the commission ignored that request to focus on gold and gemstones.
