Natural Skin Care - The Benefits of Green Tea for Healthier
Skin
By Laura Halik
Did you know you know that you could improve the health of
your skin by drinking green tea? For centuries Asian
cultures have known about the many health benefits of
drinking green tea. Green tea from its earliest origins in
China 4000 years ago, has been highly valued for its
medicinal benefits.
There are four main types of tea: black, oolong, green and
white. But of the four types, studies show that green tea is
known to have by far the highest health benefits because of
its powerful anti-oxidants. The major chemical component of
the green tea leaf which provides all the health benefits is
a group of phytochemicals known as polyphenols and
constitute about 15-30% of the green tea leaf. These
polyphenols have proven to be very efficient at working to
fight free radicals and cleanse toxins from within the body.
Polyphenols also work to improve the body's own anti-oxidant
system. Drinking natural green herbal tea is not only good
for the health of the body, it's also good for improving the
health of the skin.
My favourite green tea of all is Chamomile tea, known for
its calming and soothing effects. Chamomile tea also has
many health benefits besides relaxation. Chamomile tea is
also good for improving the digestive system, and with its
anti-inflammatory properties, it's also good for healing
itchy, dry skin. Another great herbal tea is Burdock Tea
which contains many vitamins and minerals and is known for
being a blood purifier, able to improve the body's immune
system. Burdock Tea has also been known to work successfully
in improving skin disorders such as acne, psoriasis, and
eczema.
No matter which type of green tea you prefer to drink, the
powerful and amazing health benefits of green tea are many
and wide-ranging. We now know what Asians have known and
understood for centuries and that is that drinking green tea
will improve the overall health of your body but also the
health and condition of your skin.
