Research shows that drinking Matcha tea can reduce anxiety

(Kumamoto University) Using the 'elevated plus maze' test with mice, Japanese researchers have shown that Matcha green tea can reduce anxiety. Their experiments revealed that Matcha's anxiolytic effects are due to the activation of dopamine D1 receptors and serotonin 5-HT1A receptors. The researchers suggest that adding a little Matcha tea to your diet may improve your health.
