(Cistus) Stops bacteria in their tracks! This Mediterranean native has powerful antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. Recent studies have shown that it is a powerful biofilm buster. Bacteria that can evade conventional antibiotics by forming protective biofilms can be stopped by rockrose extracts that break up these biofilms and prevent bacteria from adhering to tissues in the body. A recent study showed that rockrose also prevents HIV infection in the same way. Rockrose has become a staple for the treatment of Lyme disease, and is proven effective for flu and colds. Traditionally used for rheumatoid arthritis, fevers, skin abrasions and infections, and for acne. The delicious tea made with honey and lemon is very rich in antioxidants.
