Eco-Friendly Tea Which Has Many Uses


By Steve Zones


Green tea has become hugely popular in the past 20 or so years. Of course the history of its use goes back centuries. This tea has been used to help and cure many ailments from stomach trouble, fatigue, and rheumatoid arthritis to tooth decay. People of Asia have used green tea daily various ailments. So there is no surprise this light-tasting tea has become a popular remedy worldwide.

It would appear that tea leaf may have a place in products to relieve various skin complaints, which could help hugely against cancer of the skin. Some specialists believe that of all the anti-oxidants known to mankind, the ingredients of tea leaf are the strongest.

You might wonder why green tea is so effective against skin cancer when other varieties of tea are not. While green, black, and oolong tea come from the Camellia sinensis plant, green tea is processed using a method that helps preserve its antioxidant nature. You have to understand that green tea leaves are steamed. This process prevents the cancer-fighting compounds from being oxidized. Black and oolong teas are not nearly as effective in fighting disease since they are processed differently.

As a result, some people are now calling green tea a new yet age-old "fountain of youth" for the skin. While more research is necessary, the initial results are incredibly encouraging. Scientists have been working on a new type of skin product in which green tea plays a significant role. Consequently, they have found a way to use lab work and introduce it to the cosmetic counter. It seems green tea is particularly effective in protecting the skin from sun damage which increases the risks of developing skin cancer.

It appears that green tea may have a place in skin products to treat various skin disorders, which could help immensely against skin cancer. Some experts think that of all the antioxidants known to mankind, the components of green tea are the most potent. However, others caution that additional study is needed to fully explore the cancer-fighting abilities found in green tea.

I would add a slight twist to this green tea mask. This becomes more powerful when you add pectin to the mix! Pectin is a soluble fibre extracted from the pulps of apples and other citrus fruits. It is used to make jams, jellies, and other preservatives. Adding green tea to pectin makes a nice facial cream that nourishes your skin even further. Pectin helps in epidermal growth and fights aging, making it the perfect compliments to green tea as a skin moisturizer.
