Based on the Chinese Medicine Theory, head, closely connecting with other nerves, is the most important part of human body. Tea as gift of the mother nature, its aroma can be functioned as dispelling phlegm, calming down oneself, refreshing head and balancing blood pressure.

Additional research is now going on about cancer prevention properties of tea. They have found that tea may prevent cancer cells’ growing.

Antioxidants, such as the flavanoids found in the tea, are known to scavenge the free radicals, metabolize lipid peroxides, and precipitate metal ions, thereby preventing further damage to the critical cellular processes. Fruits and vegetables are a natural source of many antioxidants but tea is not too far behind. In a UK study it was found that 3 cups of tea contains the same amount of antioxidants as six apples! While studies are still underway, there is plenty of investor and animal studies evidence of the properties of flavanoids.

In the labs, flavanoids have been shown to inhibit oxidation of LDL, prevention of platelet aggregation, improvement in blood vessel function, and have demonstrated anti-inflammatory action. Evidence is accumulating on the properties of flavanoids in tea that may well protect against cancers, cardiovascular disease, skin disease & UV induced DNA damage

Tea is a very potent source of ant oxidative flavanoids such as Theaflavin, and Thearubin.

Flavanoids have been demonstrated to have various health associated properties, in lab experiments and in some human experiments. Teas contain about the same amounts of these poly phenols, so you can get health benefits from tea.
