Green tea may have a therapeutic and positive effect in reducing the risk and treatment of athlete's foot( tinea pedis,), some scientists suggested.
The results of the investigation were reported by several institutes, including the Tokyo Medical and Dental University, and published online in medical literature.
Green tea, is a precious drink processed a number of health benefits known to almost everyone in Asia and Western world.
An athlete's foot( tinea pedis) is a common skin disease characterized by fungal infection.
The uncontrolled proliferation of yeast fungi not only produces a pungent odor but also facilitates the risks of small vesicles, fissures, scaling, and maceration.
Green tea is not one of the favorite natural ingredients used for the treatment of athlete's foot (tinea pedis) compared to the formula of aromatic oil powder-compound consisting of arrowroot, baking soda, basil oil, tea tree oil, sage oil, and clove oil which has been proven effective in 48 hours injection with enclosed feet in shoes and socks.
In the reaffirmed green tea polyphenols (GTP) inhibited Trichophyton in vitro, researchers at the Tokyo Medical and Dental University launched an evaluation of the effects of GTP on interdigital tinea pedis in a total of 94 infected patients.
The enrolled patients were assigned either to a lukewarm water foot bath containing GTP(0.1% green tea polyphenol solution: 89.5% catechins) or a placebo.
The foot baths were given once daily with feet cleaned with mild soap and rinsed with warm water before submersing into the warm GTP foot bath for 15 minutes up to the ankles.
Patients were also given instruction not to dry off the liquids after 15 minutes to ensure further skin penetration of green tea concentration.
At the end of 12 experiments, researchers found that either GTP or placebo exerted a significant reduction in the size of the affected area, the recurrence rate, and the microscopy findings.
In an overall assessment, after taking into account other co and confounders, the green tea treatment group demonstrated significant improvements compared to a placebo group.
These results suggested that green tea (GTP) may process a strong anti-fungal activity in reducing the symptoms expression of athlete's foot (tinea pedis), including redness, skin peeling, and softening of the tissue.
Therefore, people with long-term athlete's foot (tinea pedis) may be beneficiaries by applying the extract in practical use without inducing any adverse effects.
Taken together, green tea polyphenols may be considered a natural treatment of athlete's foot (tinea pedis), however, due to the small sample size, researchers suggested that a large sample size and multi centers investigation are necessary to re-affirm this viability.
