ABSTRACT
Rooibos, Aspalathus linearis (Barm.f.) R. Dahlgren, is a South African endemic plant. Modern researches have shown that its leaves and branches are rich in polyphenols and specific flavonoids, aspalathin and nothofagin, which have many pharmacological effects on improving oxidative stress and inflammation, reducing blood sugar, protecting liver, resisting cancer and mutagenesis. In this paper, the research progress of Rooibos is summarized which could provide reference for further research and development.
