About this remedy
Green tea catechins, particularly EGCG, can penetrate eye tissues and provide direct antioxidant protection. Research in Experimental Eye Research found that green tea catechins were absorbed into various parts of the eye, including the retina and aqueous humor, where they reduced oxidative stress markers.
Preparation
Brew 2 tsp high-quality green tea leaves in 175°F water for 2-3 minutes (avoid boiling to preserve catechins). Add a squeeze of lemon to increase catechin absorption. Drink warm.
Dosage
2-3 cups of green tea daily. Space throughout the day for sustained antioxidant protection.
Cautions
Contains caffeine — limit after 2 PM if sensitive. May interact with certain medications including blood thinners and beta-blockers. Iron absorption may be reduced if consumed with meals.
