Synopsis

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

Green tea (Camellia sinensis) has been traditionally consumed in many cultures for its general health benefits, but its use specifically for gastritis has some emerging scientific support, although the evidence is not yet robust. Gastritis is characterized by inflammation of the stomach lining, often caused by infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) or the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Several in vitro and animal studies have highlighted that the polyphenols in green tea, particularly epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may help reduce gastric mucosal damage.

A number of studies have shown that green tea polyphenols can inhibit the growth of H. pylori, one of the leading causes of chronic gastritis and gastric ulcers. For example, a study published in the journal Helicobacter (2006) demonstrated that green tea catechins suppressed H. pylori infection in animal models. A few small human studies have also reported improvement in gastric inflammation markers with green tea supplementation. However, large-scale clinical trials are lacking, and some individuals may experience increased gastric irritation from green tea due to its caffeine and tannin content.

In summary, there is some scientific rationale and preliminary evidence supporting the use of green tea for managing gastritis, mainly through its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the evidence is limited (hence a score of 2), and more well-designed clinical studies are needed to establish its efficacy and safety for this specific condition.
