  Yerba Maté (Ilex paraguariensis)
  
  Maté (Ilex paraguariensis) is an evergreen member of the holly family. More than a drink, Yerba Maté has become a cultural phenomenon throughout South America. This traditional tea from South America is full of antioxidants and many Argentineans would not try any other.
  
  Its benefits are obvious. An invigorator of the mind and body, a natural source of nutrition, and a health promoter par excellence, Maté deserves the attention of every person interested in optimum health.
  
  Modern research demonstrates many additional benefits of Yerba Maté including DNA protection and inhibition of the oxidation of LDL (sometimes referred to as the "bad" cholesterol). Oxidation is caused by free radicals, which can cause damage to cells and other tissues if left uncontrolled.
  
  Maté tea is made from the leaves steeped in hot water. Actually, a large quantity of ground leaf is first soaked in cold water, then the hot water is added, over and over again, until all the good stuff has been extracted. In between each addition of hot water the tea is ingested through a special wood or metal straw, called a bombilla, that filters out the leafy material. It is also used as a cold beverage.
  
  Of the 196 volatile chemical compounds found in Yerba Maté, 144 are also found in tea. The infusions of Ilex paraguarensis are less astringent than those made of tea.
  
  It is used in popular medicine and employed in commercial herbal preparations as a stimulant to the central nervous system, a diuretic, and an antirheumatic
  
  Cool, refreshing stimulating taste without the side effects of caffeine.
