Green Tea needs no introduction – it has been one of the most widely consumed herbs in the world, dating back to ancient China and having strong cultural significance throughout Asia. It has been used to promote wakefulness and focus for thousands of years. Even monks would use it to improve their concentration in meditation sessions.

Many people use coffee to stay awake and focused. But green tea could be a better option. It does contain caffeine, but also has L-Theanine which promotes calm. 

Green Tea is often used by people who want to stick to an alkaline diet. Unlike coffee, which is acid, Green Tea has a high PH level. 

There is also mounting evidence that it has an anti-depressant effect. Traditionally, one of its benefits is the ability to reduce feelings of anxiety and despair – and this seems to now be backed up by science, with many studies showing that people who drink green tea regularly enjoy better moods. Its potential anti-anxiety effects (partly due to L-Theanine) have led to Green Tea being investigated for PTSD, with encouraging results.

Research has also revealed that green tea is a powerful antioxidant. This means it can protect our cells from the damage caused by environmental pollutants and toxins in what we eat and drink. It is essential in today’s world to boost your level of anti-oxidants, and drinking green tea regularly is a great way to do it. 

There have also been many studies that confirm green tea’s benefits to the skin. Regular consumption results in younger-looking skin, and reduced skin complaints. 

If you regularly consume coffee or black tea, switching to green tea may have a lot of benefits. It has been shown to improve memory, protect the brain from age-related decline, regulate blood sugar and promote cardiovascular health. 

It has also been used by many to lose weight since it reduces the appetite and stimulates the metabolism.

It is no coincidence that Green Tea was so valued by ancient people in Asia – it is an extremely powerful healing herb as well as a natural pick-me-up.
