The Almighty Bombilla

Bombillas come in all shapes, styles and sizes.

How do you know which one is right for you?

Here are a few ideas that will help point you in the right direction.

Do you want style?

Then you should opt for a classic reed style bombilla or possibly a fancy one with an intricate design of silver and gold.

How important is durability?

You can get a sturdy stainless steel unbreakable bombilla with a screw off filter here.

Do you just want something cheap to try out?

Just pick up the cheapest one you can find. Some may have a tinny or metallic taste especially if it’s not stainless or nickel but it will let you get a feel for the traditional method of drinking if you don’t have anyone to try it with.

Yerba Mate Health Benefits

The Green Gold Yerba Mate boasts many health benefits.

Hundreds of thousands of South Americans can’t be wrong. When this little ritual was started in pre-colombian times little did the jungle running natives know that what they were creating was a future pop sensation in natural health.

One of the first health benefits you are going to notice when you start to drink yerba mate is the non-rear-entry colon cleansing effects, a reverse enema if you will. Yeah, “yuck” is right but you will feel like a million bucks once you’ve bypassed the initial “cleansing period”.

Yerba Mate also is used to detoxify. Being loaded with antioxidant, yes, even more than regular green tea, has proved time and time again why yerba mate is the tonic of choice for savvy natural health enthusiasts everywhere. If you’re a stranger to antioxidants and what they do, get with the program. Most fruits and veggies are loaded with antioxidants the primary way to reduce your risk of cancer, help fight it, and just plain have a great immune system.

I’ll leave you with that for today and let you know about a few more health benefits soon!

Until then… raise a gourd in friendship amigo!
