1. Sterilization

Drinking green tea daily can reduce the incidence of stomach ulcers because green tea contains catechins, which effectively inhibit Helicobacter pylori, helping prevent gastric and duodenal ulcers.

2. Repelling Insects

In daily life, collect leftover tea leaves after drinking, dry them in the sun, and burn them in areas with insects to repel mosquitoes and pests.

3. Preventing and Eliminating Acne

Some young people often suffer from acne due to excessive sebum secretion, which can be alleviated by drinking green tea. Green tea can also be combined with honeysuckle and raw licorice, both of which have acne-treating properties.

Tea can be paired with garlic to help relieve diarrhea. Garlic has detoxifying and anti-inflammatory effects, while tea can inhibit bacteria, especially harmful bacteria in the intestines. Combining tea and garlic can effectively stop diarrhea.

4. Quenching Thirst

Drinking tea can promote saliva production, moisten the throat, and clear internal heat. When feeling thirsty, drinking tea is an excellent way to quench thirst, especially oolong tea. Oolong tea has the freshness of green tea and the richness of black tea. It is neither too cold nor too hot, making it ideal for relieving thirst.

5. Helping Disperse Heat

In hot weather, many people prefer cold drinks to cool down. However, cold beverages can trap heat inside the body, making it difficult to disperse and potentially causing illness. To effectively quench thirst and dispel heat in summer, drinking hot tea is recommended. It induces sweating, which quickly releases body heat.

6. Sun Protection

Green tea contains catechins, which have strong antioxidant properties. Extracting catechins from green tea to make skincare products and applying them to the skin can help protect against sun damage. Drinking green tea also provides sun protection benefits.

7. Preventing Stroke

The generation of lipid peroxides in the body can cause blood vessel walls to lose elasticity, leading to strokes. Regularly drinking tea can prevent strokes because tea contains tannic acid, which inhibits the production of lipid peroxides. Additionally, tea contains flavonoid compounds that have anti-inflammatory effects, prevent infections, and reduce the risk of blood clots. Drinking tea can also lower the incidence of myocardial infarction.

8. Relieving Lower Back Strain

Drinking tea can alleviate lower back strain, especially in middle-aged and elderly people who often suffer from chronic lower back pain. Vinegar tea can help relieve symptoms. Steep 3 grams of black tea in 200 ml of boiling water, cover and let it sit for 15 minutes, then add 5–10 ml of vinegar. Drink it while hot, twice a day for seven days.
