Yerba Mate Health Benefits and Beyond

[@kjonnen]

Been on my second day of drinking Maté and i can't stop, i drink it from i get up in the morning till i go to bed and i feel wonderful, before i began drinking Maté in combination with Ginseng, i was lazy, no energy, i would start the day with a strong cup of coffee, then when i crashed around midday, i would down a large energy drink and crash again in the evening and i was really depressed to the point where i had suicidal thoughts every other day, now after just two days with this combination, i have way more energy throughout the day, i no longer feel lazy and burned out, i've cut out coffee and those really unhealthy energy drinks and the depression have gotten much better, i still have a bummed out feeling from time to time but it is only momentary now, whereas before it was pervasive all the time i felt like shit, so far it has been very good and it also gives me a very pleasant, mild buzz that's very feel good, energized and relaxed at the same time but also a very clearheaded feeling at the same time, now i just have to get a gourd and a bombilla when i can afford it, i want to try it the authentic way.

[@Circleofdrink]

Awesome! So glad to hear this. Mate is such a wonderful plant with all sorts of benefits :)

[@JonasAnandaKristiansson]

Sounds like addiction to me actually. How you doing now?

[@kjonnen]

@@JonasAnandaKristiansson Ehhh, I stopped ingesting caffeine, started having jitters and panic attacks after ingesting caffeine, so i decided to just kick it.

[@grayxjesus]

@@kjonnen did u get cured of your depression though?

[@kjonnen]

@@grayxjesus No, but I will say it became better when I was drinking the Mate, my anxiety just could'nt handle the caffeine, I've since tried out micro dosing with psylocybin mushrooms, which seems to help with both tho

[@JcBatres]

Today is only my second day of drinking yerba mate and it gives you a really one of a kind buzz. I feel extremely level and logical and feel a razor nootropic-like affect. I noticed it also helped tremendously on my homework the other night.

Mate is the number one drink in Syria! I've been drinking Mate for more than 15 years now, it's part of my daily life ... it's the dink that helps me think, focus, socialise and work creatively! The only benefit people traditionally knew is that it helps cleans the kidneys, but doesn't have any other benefits. This video made me realise what I have been missing information wise, but definitely, not health wise, because I just can't go on a day without Mate!

[@leilanewman1982]

Many years ago I went to Damascus and saw a person drinking mate and I almost asked for one. I am Brazilian from the south and mate is part of my culture too.

[@william.darrigo]

[@stephenboredman3192]

Been drinking yerba mate now for two years, after coming across the drink after seeing some high profile footballers (Messi/Aguero/Zabaleta) all from Argentina, drinking this tea. It has helped tremendously with my concentration, alertness, cardiovascular system, and also it aids as a weight management as well as i tend to consume yerba throughout the day rather than snack on junk. The caffeine also benefits me whilst working late. Finally, a major benefit I've noticed and it could be coincidental? But I have suffered from Nocturnal Epilepsy over the years and since consuming yerba mate my seizures have decreased dramatically, almost to the point that I never really have them anymore. Superb drink and the only downside over here in the UK is that people mistake it for marijuana (haha) and are somewhat frightened by it due to their lack of education on this beautiful drink. This is truly God's gift to me.

[@juanderiaz5657]

Hi! I am Argentinian anda teacher of english and I can´t express with words how moving your video has been. I´ve grown up with mate as part of my culture but I´ve never appreciated it as much as you had. I am truly amazed by all the benefits it has. Definitely a video to show to my students. Thank you so much for this!

[@Circleofdrink]

Hey Juan, it's my pleasure to share this information with the world. Thank you for taking notice and showing your support - that means a lot to me. Saludos desde NY!

[@GodzillaFan754]

Even though I lived in Brazil, it wasn't until I returned the the State's that I experienced Mate. A friend gave me a mug of Mate with some wild honey and it was delicious. So I drank another mug full and sat back and felt the effects - very centered, alert, and comfortable. I've been a fan ever since.

[@naz0079]

I’ve been drinking Yerba tea for over 10 years and each time I drink it I feel uplifted, calm, clear headed, confidence and have mental clarity. I LOVE this tea. Please be aware that it’s an acquired taste if it’s your first time, so I suggest adding a teaspoon of honey to combat the bitter taste. Oh yeh, I simply use a cafetiere to filter it. Enjoy! 

[@torreymoreno3891]

I love your definition of a true relationship with mate as well as every other herb we put in our bodies. It's a very beautiful thing when you build a relationship with your food. Sometimes we forget that we can not only fall in love with people around us and our passions, but our food as well. I think we should be head over heals in love wit everything we put in our body, if we are then that is also what we will exude in our everyday life. You are what you eat!!!!!

[@Circleofdrink]

I couldn't agree with you more! Blessings :)

[@TSCMJ12]

Hi Dave. Just tried my first mate (unfortunately in tea bags and not traditional), and the taste is awesome. I've heard a lot of people complain about the taste unless blended with other herbs, but I have enjoyed it thoroughly and intend to continue doing so.

[@Circleofdrink]

+Rick Bonner Glad to hear, Rick! I hope you continue to enjoy mate.

[@lauraluey]

I love seeing and feeling your passion and love in the message you shared about this beautiful herb. I especially loved how you described becoming one with mate, accepting it into your body, into your life and allowing it to become a part of you. I feel my heart expanding even more after watching this video while sipping on my mate tea in front of me. Thank you for being a part of that expansion 🙏🏻❤️

[@Circleofdrink]

Thank you so much. It's an honor to share yerba mate :)

[@Jsarson1976]

I drink Yerba every day for the saponins and theobromine. Helps my fibro symptoms and also wakes me up. Coffee hurts my stomach but Yerba mate doesn’t. Love it for all the other mind wraps and vitamins. I herd from someone who said Yerba has most of the vitamins and minerals needed for sustenance. Love it. My favourite are Amanda Instant and there Original tea, Kraus made traditionally and when I need a huge energy boost I love Pagarito. It took me some time to find what I liked as every Yerba is not the same. Some I could not drink at all as they were two bitter. Don’t like CBSE and Rosamonte I hate with a passion lol Although I used to buy a spiced chocolate Guayakí tea bag version that was subliminal but think they stopped making it as can’t find it anywhere. Anyone know many more unsmoked yerbas out there, always love trying different varieties. Been drinking this stuff for 15 years now.

[@SistaSarah]

im super excited to try this- i bought it by accident (or as the universe would say 'there's no such thing as an accident') now im surfing the internet trying to find out as much info as i can... my next step- finding a gourd!! wish me luck!!! :)

[@Circleofdrink]

Awesomeness! Welcome to the wonderful world of mate :) We have some good mate resources at circleofdrink.com and yerbamateland.com

[@SistaSarah]

the one i have is from: guayaki.com/ is this a good one??? i put some in a stainless tea ball- i added cold water and let it steep for about 10 minutes then added hot water- but the 'tea' is coming out the ball and floating all over- can i still drink it?

[@Marc-zp6uq]

Just made the switch from coffee to mate. Now I have noticed some interesting changes in just 5 days. One is the lift is not like coffee, in that there are not jitters at all. And for some reason there seems to be a detox affect going on. In any case I'm in. I will give this a 90 day run just to see where this takes me in the health dept. Been a coffee drinker for 30+ years, so it's worth a look. Great informative video.

Does yerba ever compound the caffeine content until you become to stimulated to sleep or it becomes stressful ? I found I drank a very strong cup and I felt stressed and unease for a handful of hours , it was uncomfortable, I scaled out 30grams , also do you find reduced sleep quality ?
