Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Green tea (Camellia sinensis) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in East Asia, where it has been consumed for its general health-promoting effects, including digestive health and relief of mild abdominal discomfort. Traditional Chinese medicine and Japanese folk practices often include green tea as a beverage to soothe the stomach, promote digestion, and alleviate symptoms such as bloating or mild abdominal pain, especially after meals.

While green tea is rich in polyphenols (notably catechins) and possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, scientific studies specifically evaluating its effectiveness for treating abdominal pain are limited. Some research suggests green tea may positively affect gut health by modulating gut microbiota and reducing inflammation, which could indirectly benefit digestive comfort. However, robust clinical trials directly linking green tea consumption to significant relief of abdominal pain are lacking. There is also evidence that in some sensitive individuals, green tea (due to caffeine content or tannins) may cause or worsen stomach upset.

In summary, the use of green tea for abdominal pain is primarily justified by traditional use rather than strong scientific validation. The evidence rating is moderate-to-low (2 out of 5), indicating that while some traditional rationale and limited mechanistic support exist, high-quality clinical data are insufficient to firmly support its use for this specific condition.
