Green tea, one of the most popular types of herbal tea, is often celebrated for its health benefits and refreshing taste. However, like any holistic wellness practice, it comes with its own set of challenges. Thankfully, traditional medicine, especially traditional Chinese medicine, offers effective solutions to these common problems.
Common Issues with Green Tea
1. Sensitivity to Caffeine
Green tea contains caffeine, which can cause jitters or restlessness in some individuals. Although it generally has less caffeine than coffee, it can still be significant for those who are sensitive.
Solution: According to traditional medicine, consuming green tea with calming ingredients like ginger can help balance the stimulant effects. Ginger is known for its soothing properties, which can counteract the overstimulation caused by caffeine. The Revive | Loose Leaf Green Tea with Ginger and Mango is an excellent choice for those seeking a calming blend.
2. Stomach Irritation
For some, green tea can cause stomach discomfort or irritation when consumed on an empty stomach.
Solution: Traditional Chinese medicine suggests pairing herbal remedies, like green tea, with food or herbs that promote digestion. Ginger, included in our Revive blend, is renowned for its digestive benefits, helping to soothe the stomach lining and aid digestion.
3. Overconsumption of Antioxidants
While it might sound strange, too many antioxidants can sometimes lead to imbalances in the body.
Solution: Incorporating a variety of antioxidant sources into your diet is recommended by traditional medicine practices, ensuring holistic wellness without overloading on a single source of antioxidants like green tea.
4. Iron Absorption
Green tea can inhibit iron absorption when consumed with meals.
Solution: Traditional medicine advises consuming green tea between meals, allowing your body to properly absorb the nutrients from your food without interference.
