Hay fever, autonomic nervous system imbalance, and sensitivity to cold. Why tea is effective for "spring health management."
Are you feeling that "vague unwellness" of spring?
March is a season when both mind and body are susceptible to fluctuations.
Nasal and eye irritation due to pollen.
"Temperature difference fatigue" due to drastic changes in temperature.
Stress from a new life or the hustle and bustle of the fiscal year-end.
At such times, why not soothe your mind and body with a cup of tea?
This time, we'll explain the power of tea to alleviate spring ailments.
① Tea components support "irritation"
When it comes to spring ailments, pollen is a common concern, isn't it?The "catechins" found in tea have the power to address discomfort during seasonal changes.
In particular, Benifuuki contains a unique component called "methylated catechins," which are almost absent in other teas.
This component is believed to suppress the release of "histamine," which causes allergic symptoms, and is expected to help alleviate unpleasant symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes.
② The relaxing effects of "theanine" that regulate the autonomic nervous system
Spring brings many environmental changes, and we often find ourselves in a state of tension without realizing it. Theanine, the umami component in tea, is said to lead the brain into a state of relaxation.
We recommend matcha, which is made from tea leaves cultivated using special methods, steamed, dried, and then ground into a fine powder with a stone mill.
Unlike other teas, matcha is dissolved in hot water and consumed whole, making its greatest feature the ability to ingest all the nutrients of the tea leaves, including catechins, L-theanine, chlorophyll, dietary fiber, and vitamins C, E, and K.
③ Countermeasures against "coldness" due to temperature differences
Even if it's warm during the day, it gets chilly in the mornings and evenings during this season. "Wakocha" (Japanese black tea), which is green tea that has been fully fermented, gently warms the body from within.
Finally: Spring self-care starting with a cup of tea
The important thing is to choose "a cup that matches your current condition."
At Wakohen, we cultivate tea in the rich natural environment of Kagoshima, using "Hurricane King" and other methods that do not solely rely on chemical pesticides, to deliver safe and delicious tea.
Precisely because daily life is so busy, take some time to slowly drink tea to overcome the ailments of spring and stay healthy.
