Green Tea
Another potential home remedy for gastritis is green tea. Some studies have found that consuming this beverage even once per week may help significantly reduce helicobacter pylori’s presence in your digestive tract. However, its benefits go beyond reducing risks of developing the condition. Most types of tea are brewed using Camellia Sinensis dried leaves. More often than not, the leaf’s oxidation levels determine tea type.
Because green tea is typically made using unoxidized leaves, it’s not as processed as the others. This gives it more beneficial polyphenols and higher antioxidant content. Traditional Indian and Chinese medicine uses this herbal drink to heal wounds, control bleeding, help digestion, and improve mental and heart health. In addition, some studies suggest that its catechins may increase energy metabolism, resulting in weight loss.
Moreover, research shows a strong association between the intake of green tea in lowering cholesterol levels, reducing the risks of getting a stroke, enhancing working memory, and even protecting against neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s. However, further studies are required to determine its benefits conclusively. There are also complications with green tea, such as caffeine sensitivity and liver injury. Thus, it’s best to check with a doctor first.
