Plainville Pain Relief with Green Tea
We need to bring back teatime, a quiet time in the middle of the day to enjoy a quiet cup of tea away from the bustle of life! (Your Plainville chiropractor would enjoy such a break again!) Teatime was valuable for the mind and spirit and most likely very good for the body. Most days, most of us just can’t imagine that we have time, but just enjoying tea on the run in a reusable bottle on the way to your chiropractic appointment at Layden Chiropractic can be advantageous, especially if that tea is green.
BENEFITS OF TEA OVERALL
In China, drinking tea is a traditional lifestyle factor. That’s a pretty good idea! In assessing the health benefits of tea and its active ingredients for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis – familiar bone and joint diseases affecting many people – researchers found that tea offers potential anti-COX (cycolooxygenase) factors and hormone-like effects. They concluded that tea has a vast potential to be helpful in medicine and healthcare especially as the mechanisms of various tea properties are identified as to their synergistic mechanisms. (1) Tea from plants around us offers us a tasty way to be healthier and even less painful!
BENEFITS OF GREEN TEA FOR PAIN
The more information we gather about what nature has for us by medicinal plants, the more we will want to thank nature! Green tea is a well-known beverage obtained from such medicinal plants. Green tea via lots of pharmacological activities and antinociceptive effects are proposed to be effective for pain relief because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Green tea is explained to be a safe and often effective treatment for pain management because if can suppress inflammation and oxidative stress. (2) Green tea’s major component, EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate), has shown itself to be a valuable anti-inflammatory factor as well as anti-oxidant. Research papers have reported how green tea is good diseases like obesity, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative diseases. Green tea and its EGCG seem to curb the expression of inflammatory cytokines and inflammation-linked enzymes. The use of green tea potentially enhances the quality of life for inflammatory disease patients without severe adverse side-effects. (3) Back pain and its related spinal pain conditions like neck pain, arm pain, leg pain, etc., typically have inflammatory components with them, so increasing consumption of green tea for its anti-inflammatory benefit may be an advantage.
