Synopsis

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

Green tea (Camellia sinensis) has been used in traditional medicine systems, particularly in East Asia, for a variety of conditions, including as a remedy to support or treat internal bleeding. Historical texts from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Japanese Kampo medicine refer to green tea or its extracts as agents to "cool the blood" and "stop bleeding." The astringent properties of green tea, attributed to its high content of tannins (polyphenolic compounds), are believed to constrict tissue and blood vessels, thus reducing bleeding. In folk medicine, green tea infusions have sometimes been recommended for mild internal bleeding, such as that from hemorrhoids, ulcers, or minor gastrointestinal issues.

However, contemporary scientific validation for the use of green tea specifically to treat internal bleeding is limited. While animal and in vitro studies confirm that certain polyphenols in green tea have mild astringent and vasoconstrictive effects, robust clinical evidence in humans is lacking. The evidence rating of 2 reflects the presence of traditional use and some plausible mechanism, but a lack of direct scientific trials or strong clinical data supporting efficacy for internal bleeding. It is important to note that, in modern medicine, internal bleeding is considered a potentially serious condition requiring professional evaluation and treatment, and green tea should not be relied upon as a sole therapy.
