New York City Pain Relief with Green Tea
We need to bring back teatime, a quiet time in the middle of the day to drink a quiet cup of tea and escape from the bustle of life! (Your New York City chiropractor would enjoy such a time again!) Teatime was beneficial for the mind and spirit and most likely very good for the body. Most days, we just cannot imagine that we could possibly have time, but just drinking tea on the run in an insulated mug on the way to your chiropractic appointment at Rosenberg Wellness Center can be just right, especially 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 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 determined that tea has an immense 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 flavorsome way to be healthier and even a bit painfree!
BENEFITS OF GREEN TEA FOR PAIN
The more we learn about what nature has for us by medicinal plants, the more we must appreciate nature! Green tea is a common beverage obtained 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 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 valuable for its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. Research papers have published how green tea is good 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 improves 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 adding green tea for its anti-inflammatory benefit may be an advantage.
