Drinking Japanese Matcha Tea Reduces AnxietyAre you leading a very busy life? Don't worry, Japanese Matcha tea will come to your rescue, as researchers have found that it has various health benefits, such as reducing anxiety.

A study in mice published in the journal Functional Foods found that anxiety behavior in rodents was reduced after consuming matcha powder or matcha extract.

"While further epidemiological research is needed, our research shows that Matcha, which has been used as a medicine for many years, may be of great benefit to the human body," said study lead author Yuki Kurauchi of Kumamoto University in Japan.

“We hope our Matcha study can bring health benefits around the world,” added Kurauchi.

For the study, the researchers conducted an elevated plus maze test - an anxiety test for rodents - and found that mice experienced significantly less anxiety after consuming matcha powder or matcha extract.

In addition, when the anxiolytic activity of various matcha extracts was evaluated, a stronger effect was found with the extract prepared using 80% ethanol compared to the extract obtained from hot water alone.

Matcha is a finely ground powder of new leaves from green tea bushes (90%) Camellia sinensis. Matcha is used in the classic tea ceremony of traditional Japan, and also as an addition to wagashi desserts, soba noodles and ice cream.
