Puer
Chinese Pu-erh tea has a long history. As you know, for the first time its appearance was noted in the east of the Tsikhai-Tibetan plateau in the kingdom of Shu back in the 3rd century BC. The famous tea was made from the leaves of adult tea trees that grow on the plateau. Adherence to a specific processing technology, which has been improved over the centuries, and a long aging process, have endowed this tea with unusual properties. The specific effect of Pu-erh tea is expressed in a general tonic and health-improving effect on the human body, but connoisseurs also take into account the special multifaceted taste and aroma of the drink.

Pu-erh made using traditional technology is very rare. It is classified as a valuable collection tea, the cost of which can reach a fortune. At present, modern accelerated technologies are used for its preparation. And although the drink turns out to be quite close in taste and quality to that very rare Pu-erh tea, connoisseurs note that it cannot be compared with a drink made using ancient technology. Nevertheless, modern Pu-erh tea has a rather strong effect on the body and therefore is used for health purposes, for example, Pu-erh tea is currently popular for weight loss, which we will talk about later.
Chinese researchers on the properties of Pu-erh tea
In China, the effects of Puerh, both short-term and long-term, are being studied as part of a nationwide health promotion program. The research is carried out by the most serious institutions and outstanding scientists, and the results of their work are quite impressive.
In particular, Chinese researchers noted a significant improvement in bowel function as a result of regular tea drinking, normalization of peristalsis, and restoration of the microflora balance. However, despite the increase in the evacuation function of the intestine, drinking Pu-erh is not recommended in acute poisoning.
Regular drinking of Puerh leads to a decrease in blood viscosity, which is necessary for people who are concerned about the associated problems, in particular, such a common disease as varicose veins and the accompanying thrombophlebitis.
Chinese scientists also note the property of Pu'er tea to lower blood sugar and normalize cholesterol levels, which provides reliable prevention of atherosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease and other pathological conditions of the cardiovascular system. The antioxidant properties of Pu-erh tea make it possible to recommend it as a means of preventing cancer and early aging.
In China, Puerh is also believed to suppress nausea, relieve headaches, and promote the elimination of waste products from the body.
Is Pu'er Tea Suitable for Weight Loss?
It is not uncommon to hear that taking Puerh causes intense oxidation of fats in the body, and therefore it began to be included in various dietary programs for weight loss. However, after careful study, it was found that this is not true, and tea does not have any particular effect on fat metabolism. Pu'er tea's only slimming effect is the ability to slightly reduce hunger between meals. This property of Pu-erh tea helps to avoid snacking, which is often one of the main reasons for weight gain. Existing reviews of Pu-erh tea from people who have tried to lose weight with it, indicate its effectiveness only in combination with a diet.
Thus, when combined with careful dietary control, and overall positive effects on the digestive tract, Pu-erh tea for weight loss can be effective, although not to the extent promoted.
When Pu-Erh tea is not recommended
Despite the fact that this drink is considered a cure for many diseases, there are cases when it is not recommended to use it. So, doctors advise to refrain from using Puer during pregnancy. Its effect on the body of a pregnant woman and on the fetus has not been studied, so you should not risk it.
Like many tonic drinks, it is not recommended to take this tea on an empty stomach, although it is less irritating to the lining of the digestive tract than, say, green tea. Nevertheless, the irritating effect of Pu-erh tea is known, which is why its use is contraindicated for gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, ulcerative colitis and other lesions of the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract.
Also, the reason for refusing this drink should be the presence of stones in the gallbladder or kidneys. The fact is that Pu-erh tea is the strongest choleretic and diuretic drink that can lead to the movement of stones and the occurrence of an attack of colic.
There are reviews about Puer, noting that it has an undesirable effect on the state of vision in some eye diseases.
You can not drink Pu-erh during a fever, as it does not promote vasodilation and a decrease in body temperature, and can also lead to dehydration, which is extremely undesirable in this condition.
What explains the popularity of Puer
Currently, this drink is incredibly popular in society, partly due to the truly healing properties of Pu-erh tea, partly due to the opinion about its ability to normalize weight and some exoticism.
Almost all reviews of Pu-erh tea are positive, people who introduced it into their diet note a significant improvement in overall well-being, increased vitality, alignment of the psycho-emotional state, normalization of sleep and wakefulness.
An important role in the popularity of tea is played by its taste - bitter, leaving a sweetish aftertaste. Pu-erh is good as a coffee substitute for people accustomed to its tonic effect, as a tonic, and some reviews of Pu-erh tea speak of it as an excellent anti-hangover remedy.
