Health Benefits and Effects of Tea

Tea offers various health benefits, including calming the mind, promoting diuresis, dispelling wind, relieving summer-heat, clearing heat, and reducing internal fire. There are many types of tea—such as black tea, green tea, white tea, and Pu’er tea—each possessing distinct therapeutic properties. Tea also aids digestion and helps lower blood lipid levels; thus, individuals who consume large amounts of meat or have hypertension may benefit from regularly drinking tea.
