OOlong Tea Improved Eczema With Dermatological Treatment
Japanese researchers from the Shiga University of Medical Science, Otsu, found that people who were undergoing dermatological treatment for eczema showed skin improvement when they drank oolong tea. Improvement was noticed in 1 to 2 weeks.
After 1 month, 74 of the 118 participating patients showed marked to moderate improvement. They were instructed to drink oolong tea made from a 10g teabag placed in 1000 ml of boiling water then steeped for 5 minutes. This amount was then divided into 3 equal servings and 1 serving was drunk daily after 3 regular meals.
