Abstract

Tea is a unique product with valuable taste, dietary and medicinal substances. Along with alkaloids (caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline), which impart the property of stimulating beverage, the tea leaves contained in the biologically valuable materials - tannin, various vitamins, minerals, essential oils, and soluble nitrogen compounds all essential amino acids. There are many different phenolic compounds that give tea its unique healing properties. To a greater or lesser extent, they are all exist in the prepared tea and finished together with other compounds useful in the correct welding pass into the infusion, while the ballast and contaminants remain in undissolved tea. Therapeutic and preventive effect of tea makes it one of the most important tools of modern medicine.

Tea is an excellent tool forstrengthen capillaries because it contained various vitamins and complex catechins that have vitamin properties. Therefore, it is used in diseases associated with increased capillary permeability, such as hemorrhagic diathesis, inflammation of the capillaries and all kinds of capillary bleeding, external and internal hemorrhages, in scurvy, nephritis, hematuria (acute nephritis), as well as atherosclerosis, hypertension, dysentery, typhoid fever, measles, whooping cough, scrofula, rheumatism, rheumatic endocarditis and other heart disease (eg, angina), chronic hepatitis, polio, influenza, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer (yellow, white teas), liver and kidney stones, to prevent diseases of the lymph glands, gout and accumulation of salts, colds and inflammatory diseases of the respiratory system, venous ulcers, certain skin diseases, radiation sickness, sunstroke, burns quartz, some nervous diseases. Tea strengthens the nervous system and scatters drowsiness, useful both in daylight and at night work, improves eyesight, helps a person to focus, has a diuretic, anti-toxic effect, increases the overall tone of the body.
