Green tea has become hugely popular in the past 20 or so years. Of course the history of its use goes back centuries. This tea has been used to help and cure many ailments from stomach trouble, fatigue, and rheumatoid arthritis to tooth decay. People of Asia have used green tea daily various ailments. So there is no surprise this light-tasting tea has become a popular remedy worldwide.

Perhaps the most interesting claim is that it can be beneficial for various cancers. A 1994 study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute reported that green tea lowered risk of cancer of the esophagus in Chinese subjects by almost 60%. Other studies such as at University of Purdue found that unique properties in the tea can slow the growth of cancer cells.

In addition to fighting and possibly preventing cancer, green tea may be effective in treating certain skin conditions including acne, rosacea, hard-to-heal wounds, and can act as an herbal psoriasis treatment.

As a result, some people are now calling green tea a new yet age-old "fountain of youth" for the skin. While more research is necessary, the initial results are incredibly encouraging. Scientists have been working on a new type of skin product in which green tea plays a significant role. Consequently, they have found a way to use lab work and introduce it to the cosmetic counter. It seems green tea is particularly effective in protecting the skin from sun damage which increases the risks of developing skin cancer.

It appears that green tea may have a place in skin products to treat various skin disorders, which could help immensely against skin cancer. Some experts think that of all the antioxidants known to mankind, the components of green tea are the most potent. However, others caution that additional study is needed to fully explore the cancer-fighting abilities found in green tea.
