Murfreesboro Pain Relief with Green Tea
We need to bring back teatime, a quiet time in the middle of the day to experience a quiet cup of tea away from the bustle of life! (Your Murfreesboro chiropractor would enjoy such a break again!) Teatime was valuable for the mind and spirit and very likely quite good for the body. Most days, most of us just can’t imagine that we have time, but just enjoying tea on the run in an insulated mug on the commute to your chiropractic appointment at Most Chiropractic Clinic can be beneficial, especially if it’s green tea.
BENEFITS OF TEA OVERALL
In China, drinking tea is a traditional lifestyle factor. Not a bad thing! In evaluating the health benefits of tea and its active ingredients for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis – common bone and joint diseases affecting many people – researchers found that tea has potential anti-COX (cycolooxygenase) factors and hormone-like effects. They suggested that tea has an immense potential to be helpful in medicine and healthcare especially as the mechanisms of various tea properties are identified 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 information we gather about what nature offers us via medicinal plants, the more we must appreciate nature! Green tea is a common beverage obtained from such medicinal plants. Green tea via a multitude 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 explained how green tea helps diseases like neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Green tea and its EGCG seem to curb 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 leg, arm, and neck pain, etc., typically have inflammatory components with them, so increasing consumption of green tea for its anti-inflammatory benefit may be a plus.
