If you want to stay healthy, start your day with a cup of black tea. Discovered in China about 4,000 years ago, this drink is currently the most popular drink. The benefits of black tea are endless.

It contains antioxidants and other phytonutrients that can help remove toxins from your body. In addition, black tea contains much less caffeine than coffee or green tea.

How to use this drink if you are worried about chronic diseases? How to use black tea in the fight against routine lifestyle? In this article we will tell you how black tea affects your skin, hair and overall health.

Boosts Heart Health

The properties of black tea have been found to improve heart health, especially due to the flavonoids that are present in the drink. Scientists have confirmed that if you drink exactly 3 cups of natural tea daily, you can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Moreover, black tea helps to avoid myocardial infarction and diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Reduces the risk of ovarian cancer

Black tea contains catechins and theaflavins, which may inhibit the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells. Studies have shown that a reduction in the risk of ovarian cancer was observed in those women who drank more than two cups of the drink per day.

Reduces the risk of diabetes

In Russia alone, more than 29 million people suffer from diabetes, and more than 30% of the remaining population are prone to developing type 2 of this disease.

Drinking tea may reduce the risk of diabetes because catechins and theaflavins make the body more sensitive to insulin, preventing beta cell dysfunction.

Boosts immunity

Black tea is rich in antioxidants, which help remove toxins and heavy metals from the body. Long-term exposure to toxins can lead to cell mutation, decreased immunity and inflammatory processes.

Improves bone health

Black tea can replace calcium, which has a beneficial effect on bone structure. This reduces the risk of fractures, the development of osteoporosis and other diseases.

Reduces the risk of developing Parkinson's disease

We are talking about a neurodegenerative disease that mainly affects older people. The polyphenol contained in tea has a neuroprotective effect on the brain, and caffeine, in turn, suppresses Parkinson's disease.

Has a beneficial effect on the digestive tract

Consuming black tea restores intestinal microflora. Polyphenols in tea act as a prebiotic, which creates a favorable environment for the development of beneficial bacteria.

Reduces cholesterol levels

Japanese researchers have found that Chinese black tea helps lower cholesterol in people who are obese and prone to cardiovascular disease.

Like green tea, black tea can also help you lose weight. One “but”: it must be consumed together with proper nutrition and physical activity. Black tea can reduce the volume of visceral fat, relieving inflammatory processes.

Removes kidney stones

Drinking black tea can reduce the risk of kidney stones by 8%. And stones, as you know, are formed from crystallizing substances (oxalate, calcium and uric acid).

Fights asthma

Asthma is caused by inflammation and swelling of the airways or bronchi, making it difficult to breathe. Drinking black and green tea helps relieve unpleasant symptoms and ease the course of the disease. Scientists explain this by the fact that the drinks contain caffeine, which has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the lungs.

Removes harmful substances

Free radicals can be dangerous to our health. These cells arise due to the influence of an unfavorable environment, smoking or consumption of low-quality, modified food. Black tea saturates the body with antioxidants, which remove these free radicals.

Acts as an antiseptic

Antioxidants and phytonutrients have antibacterial properties. Studies have shown that black tea can even fight anthrax.

Relieves stress

Tea reduces the level of stress hormones in the body, calms and relaxes. Instead of sweet candy or a cigarette, choose a cup of black tea with lemon.

Fights Alzheimer's disease

It is believed that drinking black tea may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. However, this theory is not supported by scientific facts.

Cleanses the mouth

Natural black tea can protect the oral cavity from plaque and caries, and is also an excellent breath freshener. Thanks to its antibacterial properties, the drink fights staphylococcus, and fluoride suppresses the development of dental caries.

Helps you concentrate

Drinking black tea improves attention. L-theanine, which is part of the drink, activates brain functions, helps to concentrate and improves performance.

Relieves diarrhea

Reduces blood pressure

A group of people drank black tea for a week and the researchers checked their blood pressure. The experiment confirmed that everyone who drank this drink had lower blood pressure (compared to the control group).

Makes you happy

Black tea can lower cholesterol, normalize blood pressure, relieve emotional tension and stress.

Reduces the risk of developing skin infections

Catechins and other flavonoids help fight skin infections. Black tea is often used in complex treatment, along with medications, to speed up the healing process.

Reduces swelling

Tea bags can relieve puffiness that causes a tired looking face. Just brew the drink, cool and apply the bags on your eyelids every day for 20-30 minutes. Within a week you will be able to see visible results.

Prevents premature aging

The antioxidants and polyphenols present in tea can protect your skin from premature aging and wrinkles. Scientists have found that the drink reduces the expression of a gene that creates an enzyme that breaks down collagen.

Fights skin cancer

Lebanese scientists conducted experiments on laboratory mice to confirm the effectiveness of black tea against skin cancer. This drink is supposed to be an excellent preventative due to its antioxidants.

Protects against ultraviolet radiation

Drinking black tea can help protect your skin from UV damage. The sun's harmful rays can lead to skin pigmentation and cancer.

Accelerates skin regeneration

Sometimes the healing process takes too long. Scientists from Malaysia have discovered that black tea extract accelerates the process of skin regeneration. As a result, the inflammation goes away and the cells produce collagen. But using the drink on open wounds is not recommended, since long-term effects have not yet been studied.

Whitens skin

Black tea has antioxidant properties, which helps remove toxins that cause age spots on the skin.

Prevents hair loss

Black tea can prevent hair loss and also has a beneficial effect on the nervous system.

Stimulates hair growth

Japanese scientists have confirmed that Chinese black tea can stimulate hair growth within 2 weeks after topical application.

Makes hair shiny

Black tea will make your lifeless hair strong, shiny and healthy. To do this, use the drink instead of a conditioner.

Is a natural dye

The drink's dark pigment makes it a great natural hair dye, especially if you're a brunette (or brunette). Just mix henna with brewed tea, apply to your curls as a mask and leave for 1-2 hours. Then wash your hair using shampoo.

Classic tea is made from ripened leaves of the tea bush, which have healing properties. They contain about 300 useful substances, including vitamins, microelements, proteins, carbohydrates, essential oils, organic acids, alkaloids, and tannins. The best tea is green. It undergoes the least amount of processing and retains its beneficial properties to the maximum.

Tea contains a significant amount of caffeine, which stimulates the nervous system, increases vascular tone, blood pressure, and helps maintain alertness (a glass of tea is enough to maintain alertness for 6 hours). But tea also has a calming effect if you drink it at night with a teaspoon of honey and lemon juice. The aroma of tea also has calming properties.

Since green tea contains fluoride, which prevents the destruction of tooth enamel, preventing caries, it is useful to rinse your mouth with green tea after eating. Green tea removes lead, cadmium, mercury and other heavy metals from the body; cleanses the stomach, intestines, kidneys, liver from harmful substances; promotes healing of stomach and intestinal ulcerations; prevents the formation of stones in the kidneys, liver, gall and bladder; stimulates the hematopoietic function of the bone marrow, liver and spleen, improving blood composition; by activating metabolism, it prevents gout and obesity; reduces the negative impact of electromagnetic radiation (TV, computer); removes radioactive strontium from the body, preventing the development of radiation sickness; Drinking after a meal stimulates digestion, before eating it reduces appetite. Drinking iced tea with fresh milk helps relieve constipation.

As an antiseptic, tea is used for external use. It is used to wash the eyes for inflammation and fatigue, to treat stye, runny nose, and burns (green tea powder is especially good).

But these properties are mainly found in slightly processed green tea. Low-grade teas are subject to fermentation, the addition of food coloring and other substances that are not very beneficial to the body.

Healing cuts and scrapes

Black tea contains tannins, which can stop bleeding due to its viscosity. Take a cool, damp tea bag and apply it to the affected area. Very soon you will feel relief and notice a decrease in swelling at the site of the abrasion. Tip: A tea bag will not help if the wound shows any signs of infection. In this case, consult a doctor.

Eliminating unpleasant foot odor

No one wants to smell an unpleasant odor from socks or shoes taken off after wearing them for a long time. The benefits of black tea as an antiseptic for feet were studied by our ancestors. Tannic acid, which is found in high concentrations in strong tea, kills bacteria and tightens pores. After using a black tea bath, you will find that your feet sweat less. To take advantage of the benefits of the drink, brew two tea bags (per 0.5 liters of water) in boiling water for 15 minutes. Then place the infusion without brewing in a basin and add 2 liters of warm water. Keep your feet in the basin for 15-30 minutes, repeat the procedure daily until the odor is completely eliminated.

Improved gum health

This invigorating drink is also useful for rinsing the mouth. The astringent tannic acids help de-swell tissue and are effective in stopping gum bleeding caused by brushing. Tea can also be used as a natural mouthwash.

Strengthening the immune system

Strengthening your immune system is much easier than you might think. You don't need to buy vegetables and fruits at the market; just start with black tea. When scientists compared the antioxidant capacity of foods, black and green tea scored the highest. To best reap the benefits, steep the tea leaves for at least 5 minutes before drinking.

Eliminate eye irritation

Do you suffer from puffiness, itching or dry eye syndrome? Leave two black tea bags in warm water. After 10 minutes, squeeze out excess liquid and apply the product to your eyes. Tea lotions will relieve inflammation and irritation.

Help in treating herpes

In addition to tannins, black tea leaves contain flavonoids and caffeine. Scientific studies have found that these compounds inhibit the growth of herpes strains. According to available data, the earl gray tea variety copes most effectively with its task. As soon as you notice the characteristic tingling sensation on your lips and the first microscopic blisters, apply a damp, cooled tea bag to the area of ​​the rash. Hold the lotion on your lips for 10 minutes, repeat the procedure 3-4 times a day. This will help block further growth of viruses.

Fighting allergies

If you're a victim of pollen this spring, you may find some relief in a mug of freshly brewed black tea. This drink will also help you with an exacerbation of an allergic reaction. Tea is rich in flavonoids - chemical compounds that protect us from inflammation. Drink more than one cup a day and allergy symptoms will subside.

Treatment for rashes caused by exposure to poison ivy

Tourists, gardeners and people who travel a lot have contact with both harmless plants and poisonous ones. Ivy falls into the second category, so you'll want to avoid touching the plant's leaves. But if you couldn’t avoid contact, and your body is covered in a rash, you can take a tea bath when you return home. Place 3-5 tea bags in a filled, warm bath, let steep for a while, then soak. Tannic acids will relieve inflammation and itching.

Relief of conjunctivitis symptoms

Conjunctivitis manifests itself in the form of characteristic redness of the retina, suppuration and lacrimation. Black tea lotion will also help relieve the symptoms of this infectious disease. Place a cotton pad soaked in warm tea over the infected eye and leave for 2-5 minutes. The tannins contained in tea help relieve swelling and redness. Carry out the procedure 3-5 times a day, and use only fresh tea leaves.

Treatment of diarrhea

You already know that strong tea has the highest concentration of tannins. These compounds have an astringent effect and can normalize the functioning of the intestinal walls during diarrhea. To avoid dehydration, it will be better if you opt for decaffeinated tea.

Elimination of boils

Boils are caused by staphylococcal bacteria and can appear on the face, neck, shoulders, thighs, armpits, and groin area. To reduce inflammation, you need to “pull” the pus out. A compress made from a warm tea bag will do the job. Apply the lotion to the problem area 5 times a day for 10-15 minutes. Don't forget to update your tea leaves regularly.

Help in treating hemorrhoids

If you are diagnosed with hemorrhoids, a compress of warm tea will help relieve painful swelling. The advantage of this tool is undeniable. The heat soothes the problem area, and the tannins stop bleeding.
