For victims of seasonal allergies, spring can be a daunting time: the “avoid” list is too long, injectors are horrifying and the non-drowsy antihistamine makes you sleepy all day. Recently I’ve been hearing and reading more about the Japanese green teas called Benifuuki and Yamakai as miracle hay fever cures. As it turns out, even if you have no allergies, the health benefits of green tea is borderless. Originally used as medicine to promote longevity in China, the culture of green tea has flourished in Japan and now the green wave is hitting the west! Green teas come in all types, including matcha, with a wide range of flavors and benefits. On his website Gruenertee.de, Dr. Schweikart explains all of the goodness of green tea; so nerd out and get informed, because knowledge can do your body and mind wonders. Most products are available online: try Sunday.de. (Text: Sven Hausherr)
