Eco-Friendly Tea And It Is Many Uses

By Steve Zones


Tea leaf has grown to be hugely well-liked in the past 20 or so years. Needless to say the background of its use dates back centuries. This tea was used to aid and cure many conditions from abdomen trouble, tiredness, and arthritis to cavities.

Perhaps the most interesting claim is that it can be beneficial for various cancers. A 1994 study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute reported that green tea lowered risk of cancer of the esophagus in Chinese subjects by almost 60%. Other studies such as at University of Purdue found that unique properties in the tea can slow the growth of cancer cells.

Evidence suggests that green tea can be beneficial for your skin. An article, "Green Tea and Skin" in the Archives of Dermatology in 2000, explained how green tea could be effective in fighting skin cancer. Because of its composition, green tea may prevent inflammation and cancer in the skin.

In data studied by numerous scientists, the polyphenolic substances in green tea were tested and found to provide protection against cancer in mouse skin. Other successful experiments were conducted on human skin in the lab. The analysis showed that green tea polyphenols have inherent cancer-fighting abilities.

It appears that green tea may have a place in skin products to treat various skin disorders, which could help immensely against skin cancer. Some experts think that of all the antioxidants known to mankind, the components of green tea are the most potent. However, others caution that additional study is needed to fully explore the cancer-fighting abilities found in green tea.

I would add a slight twist to this green tea mask. This becomes more powerful when you add pectin to the mix! Pectin is a soluble fibre extracted from the pulps of apples and other citrus fruits. It is used to make jams, jellies, and other preservatives. Adding green tea to pectin makes a nice facial cream that nourishes your skin even further. Pectin helps in epidermal growth and fights aging, making it the perfect compliments to green tea as a skin moisturizer.
