Many of the properties of red tea come from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). A medicine based on the five elements that divides food into super hot, warm, neutral, fresh and cold.
From a scientific point of view they are not proven, although if one thing cannot be denied, it is that after so many years of observation there has been enough time to discover the properties of a plant.
Bayer and traditional Chinese medicine
The international pharmaceutical company famous for aspirin has signed scientific and technical cooperation agreements with China.
Bayer researchers have teamed up with scientists from the Kunming Institute of Botany in Yunnan with the aim of discovering new active ingredients in herbs used in ancient Chinese traditional medicine.
There are already examples of success, as is the case with the active ingredient acarbose, a natural substance that is being applied in the treatment of diabetes.
The approach used to judge the mechanism of action in traditional Chinese medicine is very different from that of the Western. While TCM has a holistic view, looking at the human being as a whole, Western medicine focuses on the principle of cause and effect.
Although the two paradigms are incompatible, this fact is a clear example of the interest of pharmaceutical multinationals in the ancestral knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine.
The properties that the Chinese have attributed to pu-erh red tea for thousands of years have been confirmed and accepted by the physico-chemical paradigm that underpins our Western medicine.
