Camellia sinensis
Liquid extract of dried, unfermented young leaf.

Actions: Green Tea's high content of
catechins, flavonoids and other phenolic compounds makes it an excellent
antioxidant (six times more so than black tea). Inhibits growth of tooth
cavity-causing bacteria. Mild stimulant, astringent, diuretic and anti-inflammatory.
Uses: As an antioxidant to minimize the deleterious
effects of environmental pollutants, inflammation or other forms of
metabolic stress. Cancer prevention. As a mouthwash in prevention of
dental cavities, and treatment of gum disease. Mild cases of diarrhea.
Dose: Take 30 to 40 drops, 3 or 4 times per day. As
a mouthwash put 40 drops in 2 to 4 ounces of water and rinse mouth
thoroughly.
Cautions: Although the caffeine content is low, some
sensitive persons may experience nervousness, irritability or sleeplessness
with large or too frequent doses.
