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, for its general health-promoting properties. Its use specifically for premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is primarily rooted in tradition, rather than robust scientific evidence. Historically, green tea has been consumed to help reduce stress, promote relaxation, and support overall well-being, which may indirectly benefit individuals experiencing PMS symptoms such as irritability, fatigue, or mild discomfort. The polyphenols and catechins in green tea have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which some traditional practitioners theorize could help alleviate certain physical symptoms of PMS, like bloating or mild pain. However, clinical studies directly assessing green tea’s efficacy for PMS relief are very limited. Some small-scale observational studies suggest that the caffeine and L-theanine content in green tea may improve mood and cognitive function, potentially offering mild symptomatic relief. Still, these effects are not specific to PMS, and most available data are extrapolated from studies on mood or general health. Overall, while green tea is widely regarded as safe and may offer general wellness benefits, its use for PMS is based more on traditional practices and anecdotal reports rather than strong scientific validation.
