After cooking certain varieties, thein enters the body, which has a tonic effect and increases blood pressure.

Black and green varieties of the drink contain a high percentage of vitamin P, which reduces blood pressure and strengthens the immune system. No wonder there are a huge number of folk recipes for tea against seasonal diseases with the addition of honey or ginger.

In Asia, no meal dispenses with a tea ceremony, which for green tea is usually chosen. According to doctors, this drink improves digestion and helps not to gain extra pounds, removing toxins from the body, and the beneficial antioxidants of green tea slow down skin aging. Black tea, thanks to the potassium in the composition, is involved in the regulation of acid-base balance and can also be useful after a good lunch or dinner.

Doctors recommend not to exceed the norm of one liter within 24 hours, upon that distributing the use of the drink into three times.

Turkmens have always been great amateur of green tea and did not get along without it even during wars. For example, the riders of the Teke mounted regiment constantly received parcels of green tea from home. Here is one of the letters from the front of the First World War in February 1916 to the Ladies’ Committee: “The Turkmen cavalry regiment expresses its deep gratitude to the Committee for the generous gifts delivered to the regiment.” And those gifts consisted of thirty-two kilograms of green tea and thirty kilograms of sugar.
