In this video, Dr. Matthew Davis, director of Crossroads Chiropractic, shares important information looking at green tea and its ‘head to toe’ anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral properties.
Thousands of studies have been published about the health effects of green tea, but not until recently have researchers looked at green tea for prevention and treatment of infections.
The compounds in Green Tea work as a potent anti-fungal for athlete’s foot, fungal nail infections, jock itch, and ringworm.
Used topically as a ointment, green tea has an 80% cure rate for bacterial skin infections such as Impetigo.
What about green tea for acne? Six weeks of a 2% green tea lotion cut the number of pimples more than half, and significantly reduced the severity, making it a cheap, effective treatment for acne.
When it comes to oral hygiene, most people don’t brush the recommended 4 minutes a day. A 2% green tea mouthwash has been proven to effectively kill the bacteria that causes plague and gingivitis as well as boosts the “antibacterial capacity” of saliva.
Green tea can fight off some of the fiercest bacterias, such as the type of E. coli that causes unitary tract infections.
At the same time, it can also act as a prebiotic, boosting the levels of good bacteria in our colon.
When drinking green tea, remember drinking tea with meals may impair iron absorption, so better to drink between meals.
Incorporating this tea into your daily life. It will make you a healthier you.
