Protection from the Inside Out

Antioxidants are compounds that protect our cells from damage caused by oxidative stress, a process linked to aging, inflammation and chronic disease. While the body produces some antioxidants on its own, many of the most powerful come from plants.

Herbal antioxidants don’t just protect; they nourish and energise the body, often providing additional anti-inflammatory, immune-supportive and detoxifying benefits.

🌿 Top Herbal Sources of Antioxidants

Green Tea
Packed with catechins, particularly EGCG, green tea is one of the most potent antioxidant herbs. It helps combat free radicals, supports metabolism and reduces inflammation.

Turmeric
The golden spice turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound. It’s especially valuable in protecting against joint and brain-related oxidative stress.

Ginger
Not only warming and digestive, ginger offers antioxidant support through compounds like gingerol, which help fight inflammation and cellular damage.

Rosemary
This culinary herb is rich in rosmarinic acid and other polyphenols. Rosemary has been shown to protect cells, support circulation and even enhance memory.

Garlic
Well-known for its antimicrobial power, garlic also contains sulfur compounds that boost the body’s own antioxidant enzymes.

Licorice Root
Used in many traditional systems of medicine, licorice root offers antioxidant protection along with soothing and adaptogenic properties.
