St Peters 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 and escape from the bustle of life! (Your St Peters chiropractor would appreciate such a break again!) Teatime was valuable for the mind and spirit and very likely quite good for the body. Today, 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 Old Mill Chiropractic can be advantageous, 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 has potential anti-COX (cycolooxygenase) factors and hormone-like effects. They concluded that tea has an immense potential to be helpful in medicine and healthcare especially as the mechanisms of the different types of tea properties are identified as to their synergistic mechanisms. (1) Tea from plants around us presents us a tasty way to be healthier and even less painful!
BENEFITS OF GREEN TEA FOR PAIN
The more we acquire about what nature offers us through medicinal plants, the more we will want to thank nature! Green tea is a well-known beverage sourced from such medicinal plants. Green tea via lots of pharmacological activities and antinociceptive effects can be effective for pain relief because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Green tea is described as a safe and often effective treatment for pain management owing to its suppression of inflammation and oxidative stress. (2) Green tea’s major component, EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate), is described in the published literature as valuable for its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. Research papers have reported how green tea is good diseases like neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Green tea and its EGCG seem to restrain the expression of inflammatory cytokines and inflammation-linked enzymes. The use of green tea quite possibly improves 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 adding green tea for its anti-inflammatory benefit may be an advantage.
