Did you know that as far back as the sixteenth century, the native Indians of Paraguay introduced the Jesuits to tea made from the leaves of yerba mate? The exhilarating effect of the tea became so popular and in demand that the Jesuits developed plantations and the tea from yerba mate was often called “Jesuits’ tea”.  Obviously, yerba mate is a plant.  Specifically, it is a tree that is indigenous to Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil.  It is often cultivated, and kept pruned to shrub size for easy leaf harvesting, in many tropical countries to supply the world.

It’s a small wonder that yerba mate is included in the formulation of herbalife total control since it is widely recognized as an appetite suppressing fat burner that boosts energy!  Other actions yerba mate is known for are blood cleansing, digestion stimulation and bowel cleansing, heart stimulant and memory enhancer as well as antioxidant properties that fight free radicals.  Clearly understandable, yerba mate tea is honored by whole civilizations as a “drink of the gods”!
