Carrolltown Pain Relief with Green Tea
We need to bring back teatime, that quiet time in the middle of the afternoon to experience a quiet cup of tea and escape from the bustle of life! (Your Carrolltown chiropractor would appreciate such a break 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 an insulated mug on the commute to your chiropractic appointment at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation can be beneficial, particularly 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 evaluating the health benefits of tea and its active ingredients for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis – familiar bone and joint diseases bothering many people – researchers found that tea offers potential anti-COX (cycolooxygenase) factors and hormone-like effects. They determined 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 information we gather about what nature offers us through medicinal plants, the more we will want to thank nature! Green tea is a common 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 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 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 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 a plus.
