Fernandina Beach Pain Relief with Green Tea
We need to bring back teatime, a quiet time in the middle of the afternoon to drink a quiet cup of tea and escape from the bustle of life! (Your Fernandina Beach chiropractor would enjoy such a time again!) Teatime was good for the mind and spirit and most likely very good for the body. Most days, most of us just cannot imagine that we could possibly have time, but just drinking tea on the run in a reusable bottle on the commute to your chiropractic appointment at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic can be beneficial, especially if it’s green tea.
BENEFITS OF TEA OVERALL
In China, drinking tea is a traditional lifestyle factor. Not a bad thing! In assessing the health benefits of tea and its active ingredients for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis – common bone and joint diseases bothering many people – researchers found that tea offers potential anti-COX (cycolooxygenase) factors and hormone-like effects. They suggested that tea has a vast potential to be helpful in medicine and healthcare especially as the mechanisms of various tea properties are defined as to their synergistic mechanisms. (1) Tea from plants around us offers us a delicious way to be healthier and even a bit painfree!
BENEFITS OF GREEN TEA FOR PAIN
The more we acquire 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 several pharmacological activities and antinociceptive effects are proposed to be effective for pain relief due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Green tea is explained to be a safe and often effective treatment for pain management due to its suppression of inflammation and oxidative stress. (2) Green tea’s major component, EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate), has shown itself to be valuable for its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. Research papers have reported how green tea helps 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 associated spinal pain conditions like leg, arm, and neck pain, etc., typically have inflammatory components with them, so increasing consumption of green tea for its anti-inflammatory benefit may be an advantage.
