Manahawkin Pain Relief with Green Tea
We need to bring back teatime, that quiet time in the middle of the day to enjoy a quiet cup of tea away from the bustle of life! (Your Manahawkin chiropractor would enjoy such a time again!) Teatime was beneficial for the mind and spirit and most likely very good for the body. Today, we just don’t have time, but just enjoying tea on the run in a reusable bottle on the commute to your chiropractic appointment at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center can be just right, particularly if it’s green tea.
BENEFITS OF TEA OVERALL
In China, drinking tea is part of daily life. 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 suggested that tea has a vast potential to be helpful in medicine and healthcare especially as the mechanisms of the different types of tea properties are defined as to their synergistic mechanisms. (1) Tea from plants around us presents us a delicious way to be healthier and even less painful!
BENEFITS OF GREEN TEA FOR PAIN
The more we learn about what nature offers us via 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 are proposed to 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 because if can suppress inflammation and oxidative stress. (2) Green tea’s major component, EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate), is described in the published literature as a valuable anti-inflammatory factor as well as anti-oxidant. Research papers have reported how green tea helps 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 enhances the quality of life for inflammatory disease patients without severe adverse side-effects. (3) Back pain and its associated 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.
