Greek Mountain Tea

Mountain tea contains high levels of antioxidants, polyphenols, and essential oils, including flavonoids. One study found that thanks to its powerful levels of antioxidants, mountain tea is as potent as green tea at promoting the body's antioxidant defenses and preventing oxidative stress. There continues to be a number of studies examining the health benefits of mountain tea, which has been shown to have the potential to boost immune response as an anti-inflammatory, aid in digestion, and even prevent osteoporosis.

Researchers are also beginning to investigate mountain tea's potential as a weapon against cognitive decline. A recent study showed extracts from the sideritis plant can help prevent and treat Alzheimer's Disease and dementia. According to the Journal of Alzheimer's disease, consuming mountain tea has a positive impact on existing mental and cognitive conditions.
