Green tea can be beneficial for you in two ways.
1. Chemically
2. emotionally
Traditionally, the chemical benefits of tea obtained by brewing tea, and then sipping it.

Green tea contains antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and antibacterial properties. The main antioxidant found in green tea, EGCG (epigallocatechin3-gallate), was 100 times more effective than vitamin C, and 25 times more effective than vitamin E. Tannins are also included in tea. Tannins are astringents that compress or squeeze body tissue, usually locally after topical application.
Why swim in green tea?
The skin is the largest organ in the human body. For an average adult, skin has a surface area of 1.5-2.0 square meters. M (16.1-21.5 sq. Ft.), Most of which is between 2-3 mm (0.10 inches). The average square inch (6.5 cm²) of skin contains 650 sweat glands, 20 blood vessels, 60,000 melanocytes (cells that produce melanin, which is a pigment), and over a thousand nerve endings.
One of the most important functions of the skin is to provide the body with a protective barrier against pathogens, which are agents that cause disease, and from harmful elements in the external environment, such as ultraviolet rays from the sun. The skin protects the muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments and internal organs, and also protects the body from excessive water loss. Seriously damaged skin regenerates itself, forming scar tissue.
Absorption of the skin is the way in which substances can enter the body through the skin. The absorption of substances through the skin depends on a number of factors, the most important of which are concentration, duration of contact, solubility, physical condition of the skin and part of the naked body. All natural and healthy ingredients in green tea make it an ideal choice for bathing in it, so nutrients can be absorbed through the skin.
Tea from green tea is very easy to make. First you put six organic green tea bags in a very hot water bath for 10–20 minutes. Your bath water will turn golden brown or dark brown and it will let you know that antioxidants and vitamins have been released into your bath. Remove the tea bags and adjust the temperature of the water for your bath. You can also add half to half a glass of olive oil to the bath water. Olive oil contains antioxidants, and it softens and soothes the skin if you tend to have very dry skin. Relax in your health bath for at least 30 minutes.
Studies show that green tea can inhibit skin cancer due to its protective properties. Tannins in tea not only heal burns and stop bleeding, but also stop infection as they continue to heal the wound inside. The ability of tannins to form a protective layer over the exposed tissue keeps the wound from becoming infected even more. The natural antiseptic properties in this tea also facilitate itching and swelling in sections, scratches, bites, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, rashes and acne spots. Of course, when it comes to health. You should always consult with your doctor to make sure that bathing is recommended.
