​Tea pill

The centennial Hua Ji Tang ancestral tea pill is made from select Yunnan wild tea leaves from century-old trees, using traditional ancient methods, preserving its unique flavor and offering excellent health benefits. Hypolipidemic Effects Scientific experiments have shown that tea can inhibit the absorption of lipids by animal cells and accelerate the clearance or breakdown of lipids that have entered the bloodstream. Some academic groups have conducted comparative epidemiological studies between tea-producing and non-tea-producing areas, and the analysis has indicated a significantly lower incidence and mortality rate of stroke in tea-producing regions compared to non-tea-producing regions. Many countries now use tea as a primary ingredient in daily products such as toothpaste, cosmetics, and various health food and beverages, primarily due to tea's fat-reducing function. Hypoglycemic Effects In traditional Chinese medicine, tea has been used to treat diabetes for over a thousand years. Modern medical research and experiments have also confirmed that tea has the ability to lower urinary sugar levels and alleviate diabetes. Four main components are believed to contribute to tea's hypoglycemic effects: complex polysaccharides, catechins, flavonoids, and vitamins (C and B1). Drinking tea promotes the secretion of pancreatic juice, and the enzymes in pancreatic juice play an important role in regulating the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in food. Therefore, drinking tea as a means of preventing diabetes is considered a beneficial approach. Hypotensive Effects Tea can prevent and treat high blood pressure and related cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases due to the combined action of various components in tea leaves. Tea contains rich tea polyphenols, vitamins (P and C), caffeine, essential trace elements (zinc, cobalt, fluoride), and more. These components work together to inhibit the activity of angiotensin I-converting enzyme, prevent the formation of atherosclerosis, improve microvascular permeability, enhance vascular wall elasticity, promote detoxification of harmful ions, and increase the zinc-to-cadmium ratio in the kidneys. All of these effects are essential in treating high blood pressure, preventing it, and managing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, making tea more effective than medication. Anti-Cancer Effects Epidemiological studies conducted in provinces like Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui in China have confirmed that people who consume tea regularly have a lower incidence and prevalence of liver cancer and other digestive tract cancers. Similar studies by foreign scholars have also shown lower cancer incidence and mortality rates in tea-growing regions, which are closely related to the long-term habit of tea consumption. Experimental medicine has confirmed that nitrosamine compounds are strong carcinogens, and tea polyphenols can inhibit and block the formation of nitrosamines. Additionally, polyphenolic compounds and catechins in tea have mutagenic effects, enhance the activity of certain detoxification enzymes, weaken the activity of carcinogenic metabolic enzymes, reduce the quantity of ultimate carcinogens, inhibit the covalent binding of carcinogens to DNA molecules, scavenge free radicals, eliminate potential carcinogens, and promote intercellular communication. Moreover, modern medicine believes that the vitamins A, C, and E, along with essential elements like selenium and zinc found in tea, all have cancer-preventive and anti-cancer effects. Detoxification Effects Drinking tea has detoxifying properties, as recorded in ancient medical texts and advocated by many medical experts. "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica" states that "Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, encountered seventy-two poisons daily, and found tea to be the antidote." The famous physician Hua Tuo from the Three Kingdoms period believed that "bitter tea, when consumed for a long time, can improve one's disposition." Liang physician Tao Hongjing mentioned that "long-term consumption of tea can rejuvenate the body." Historical records indicate that even emperors who fell ill without relief from various medications recovered after drinking tea. Some even referred to tea as the "universal remedy for all diseases." In traditional Chinese medicine, many toxins are associated with heat and fire, and tea's cooling and detoxifying properties make it an effective antidote. As Li Shizhen mentioned in "Compendium of Materia Medica," "Tea is bitter and cold, a yin within yin, sinking and descending, and it is most effective at reducing internal heat. Fire is the root cause of many illnesses, and when fire is reduced, clarity is restored." Treatment of Hyperlipidemia Tea polyphenols not only reduce blood viscosity but also have anti-thrombotic, fibrinolytic, and platelet adhesion inhibition effects. Furthermore, based on the modern medical perspective, if the significant indicators of blood stasis syndrome are attributed to lipid metabolism disorders, abnormal hemorheology, and microcirculation disturbances, then tea polyphenols adhere to the principle of promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis, acting as blood-activating and stasis-resolving agents. Treatment of Coronary Heart Disease Tea polyphenols not only cause the regression of existing atherosclerotic lesions but also prevent the formation of new lesions, reduce narrowing, and improve myocardial ischemia. These changes should be one of the mechanisms through which tea polyphenols prevent and treat coronary heart disease. Experimental data confirm that during the treatment of coronary heart disease, tea polyphenols comprehensively and effectively improve abnormal lipid metabolism, which is significant for addressing the root cause. Tea polyphenols can enhance cardiac function and resistance to abnormal hemodynamics by dilating peripheral blood vessels, reducing peripheral resistance, decreasing afterload, strengthening left ventricular and coronary function, ultimately providing "power" to correct myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. Treatment of Stroke In the treatment of stroke, tea polyphenols not only show significant efficacy in improving vascular wall damage but also have a positive impact on the hemorheological parameters of stroke patients. This includes reducing hematocrit and whole blood viscosity, decreasing red blood cell and platelet aggregation, and lowering plasma viscosity and fibrinogen levels. Recent research has revealed a significant relationship between increased serum iron levels and the occurrence of stroke in high-risk populations. Clinical evidence shows that tea polyphenols can significantly reduce serum iron, thereby mitigating iron-related damage to brain tissue. Tea polyphenols are also effective antioxidants, capable of scavenging free radicals and exhibiting anti-lipid peroxidation effects. Treatment of Age-Related Dementia Experimental evidence demonstrates that tea polyphenols are not merely a microcirculation-activating therapy but also, while improving microcirculation blood flow, have a selective effect on the cerebral cortex by entering brain tissue through the blood-brain barrier. This directly activates the comprehensive function of the cerebral cortex, making tea polyphenols a smart drug. Treatment of Tumors Experimental medical research has confirmed that tea polyphenols have anti-cancer effects and significant inhibitory effects on various stages of tumor development. They regulate humoral immunity and cell-mediated immune activity, exhibit anticoagulant, anti-aggregation, reduce blood viscosity, and inhibit platelet adhesion. They have no toxic side effects, teratogenic effects, or mutagenic effects. In recent years, the damage to red blood cells caused by radiation and chemotherapy has gained attention. Experimental studies have shown that in chemotherapy or radiotherapy for malignant tumors, the group treated with tea polyphenols has a complete recovery of platelets, hemoglobin, and red blood cells by the fourth week. This indicates that tea polyphenols have the function of alleviating bone marrow suppression and protecting blood cells, with superiority in controlling severe complications such as infection (leukopenia), anemia (reduced red blood cells), and bleeding (reduced platelets). It is one of the significant achievements in cancer treatment. In addition, tea polyphenols can also improve conditions such as fatty liver, diabetes, menopausal syndrome, kidney disease syndrome, and obesity.
