Chinese medicine is one of the oldest in the world. The approaches to health that she promotes differ sharply from Western ideas: while European doctors fight diseases and their manifestations, Eastern healers view the body as a single system in which everything is interconnected. The most used treatment method in China is herbal medicine. Chinese pharmacists have long been able to achieve true perfection in the field of combining various herbs to help the body. The specialists of the Tianshi company, which has been producing health products since 1995, have been especially successful in this. The basis is dietary supplements in the form of drinks. Tianshi anti-lipid tea is known today to women all over the world as a means of achieving good health and a slim silhouette. The manufacturer notes that the recipe for this special tea is more than 5,000 years old, which makes the consumer believe in its high efficiency. At the same time, many domestic doctors are very critical of this product and do not advise placing high hopes on it.

Each of the components has its own properties and has a specific effect on the body.

  • caffeine;
  • essential oils;
  • vitamins C, P, B;
  • tannins and astringents;
  • theophyllines and flavonoids.

Glucosides, litcithin and alkaloids have a calming effect on the nervous system.

Senna and cassia

Gynostemma pentafolia

Used in folk medicine to treat blood vessels and prevent blood clots. It has antioxidant properties and is used in the fight against cancer.

Properties

The Tianshi tea dietary supplement is a herbal collection endowed with anti-lipid properties, or, to put it more simply, anti-fat. This means that when consumed, fat metabolism in cells and tissues is normalized, and the blood is cleared of cholesterol and toxins. That is, the first and most important property of anti-lipid tea is cleansing the body, leading to harmony. According to the manufacturer, the anti-lipid product is an excellent natural remedy for weight loss. It works slowly, but for sure. In just one week of use you can lose 1-1.5 kg.

If you carefully read the instructions, you can note that Tianshi tea is suitable for people with “excessive” weight. Unfortunately, there is a significant “but”: standards for “weight standards” have not been established. In medicine, there is the concept of “normal weight”, which is defined in the BMI range of 18-25 for women and 19-26 for men, which means that there is some confusion in the case of the product.

The antioxidant capacity of the dietary supplement is no less important. It helps with the functioning of the heart, liver, kidneys, spleen and stomach. When taken, the fight against inflammatory processes begins and vigor is achieved. In view of all that has been said, we can highlight the second property - normalization of the work of all internal organs and systems.

Since the Tiens product is completely natural and contains components that improve brain function, the third property can be considered to help with concentration. If you believe the reviews of real people, in some cases this tea becomes a cure for a hangover.

The beneficial properties of the product do not end with the three described above. Among others are:

  • regulation of body temperature;
  • improvement of blood movement in the eye vessels;
  • elimination of pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract;
  • increased peristalsis;
  • normalization of blood pressure;
  • elimination of edema.

Among other things, the use of anti-lipid tea Tanshi promises to be the right step towards stabilizing the psycho-emotional state. After just a few cups of the aromatic drink, peace of mind appears, insomnia and rapid heartbeat go away, and your mood rises. Such an action should appeal to those who set out to lose weight without experiencing aggression.

A special property of a non-medicinal product that is useful for all people pursuing the goal of losing weight is a decrease in appetite. Regular use of a dietary supplement allows you to be satisfied with smaller portions and, finally, overcome the habit of eating at night.

According to experts in the field of weight loss, the weight lost on anti-lipid tea quickly returns back as soon as the course is completed.

Beneficial features

In addition to its delicious and unique taste, Tianshi tea has many beneficial properties that it has on the body. With regular use of the Chinese drink, you can:

  • strengthen the immune system;
  • improve cerebral circulation;
  • normalize the functioning of internal organs (heart, liver and kidneys);
  • quickly restore the body’s physical strength;
  • cleanse the intestines;
  • improve vision;
