Cistus properties

Cistus plant is mainly known for its high levels of polyphenols, or antioxidants. What are antioxidants and why they are so important to our health? These are compounds that remove (sweep) called. free radicals. Free radicals have an adverse effect on our health because they oxidize proteins and lipids contribute to the development of many diseases:

  • the development of chronic inflammation that contributes to the development of cancer, heart disease, arthritis, allergies,
  • oxidation of LDL cholesterol (the so-called. bad cholesterol), which favors the development of atherosclerotic plaques which increase the risk of atherosclerosis.

In addition, polyphenols have a positive effect on the immune system, also inhibit the release of histamine, so they have antiallergic properties. Cleansing plant is safe to use, operating smoothly, while its use has not noticed side effects.
