Organic green tea has been used for thousands of years around the world as both a beverage and a natural cure for many ailments. In Asia, it was used for its numerous health benefits by many early civilizations, and it is still used today. Now modern scientists have been studying organic green tea and have discovered the true healing powers of this ancient plant.

Modern Science Reveals the Truth

One of the most important properties that research studies have found is that organic green tea can be used to prevent or even fight cancer. The important compound that has this miraculous ability is called epigallacatechin gallate, or EGCG. EGCG can not only help to prevent cancer cells from growing in the first place, but can also eradicate cancer cells that already exist, and it does all this without doing any damage to the body’s healthy cells. Studies have shown that EGCG can reduce the risk of cancer by up to sixty percent!

EGCG has also been shown to help with cholesterol regulation. It can increase the amount of good cholesterol while reducing the bad cholesterol, and in this way the risk of heart attacks is greatly reduced. EGCG may also actively prevent heart attacks, by stopping blood clots from forming and causing the blood vessels to relax.

In China, organic green tea is especially valued for its use in the treatment of immune deficiencies, rheumatoid arthritis, and various cardiovascular diseases. Studies show that drinking just three to five cups of organic green tea each day will give you the benefits of green tea’s medicinal properties.

You many find organic green tea somewhat bitter – an easy solution to this problem is to add sweeteners. Organic green tea is also used in a powdered form in many sweet desserts around the world, especially in China and Japan, but also in the West. The most well-known treat is green tea ice cream.

If you’re really not a tea drinker and the though of trying a bitter organic green tea gives you the shivers, but you want to experience the wonders of this miraculous tea, don’t despair! The properties that make organic green tea so useful are also available in a pill or tablet form. You can enjoy all the health benefits of green tea, without having to worry about bitterness or the time it may take to prepare it. As with any supplement, make sure you find out what the appropriate daily dosage is for your particular case.
