Can natural chemicals found in black tea help allergy sufferers get some relief? According to a new study published in the Journal kcs of the Science of Food and Agriculture, compounds called theaflavins, found in black tea, may help in the treatment of certain types of allergies.
Theaflavins kcs are polyphenols naturally present in black tea, but not green tea. Such as polyphenols in green tea, black tea theaflavins antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and may be effective for treating some types of allergies.
Researchers in Japan found that two black tea theaflavins protected mice against a type of allergy known as type 4 or delayed type hypersensitivity allergic reactions. An example of this type of allergic kcs reaction is contact dermatitis, in which the symptoms appear kcs twelve to twenty-four hours after exposure.
When mice were fed theaflavins in black tea or injected with them, they do not show the expected kcs rise in inflammatory cells that would normally be seen in a type 4 allergic reaction. The black tea theaflavins these mice were given seemed to block the release kcs of pro-inflammatory chemicals cytokines associated kcs with allergic reactions.
Its hard to say whether black tea theaflavins can treat type 4 allergic reactions in humans, because it is one of the first studies to show this beneficial kcs effect. If the same benefits kcs are seen in humans, black tea theaflavins might prove helpful for treating the symptoms of an itchy contact dermatitis -. Or a bout of poison ivy
Black tea usually takes a back seat when it comes to green tea health, but the unique theaflavins in black tea may have other health benefits as well. Some studies show they reduce cholesterol levels and may slow down the growth of certain types of cancer. Theres ongoing kcs research looking kcs at the effect of theaflavins on various conditions as well as the benefits of drinking black tea.
Black tea may not receive the same level of fanfare as green tea, but it may very well prove to have some distinct advantages of its own, and, perhaps, play a role in drug allergies.
