The study cited in the supplied article tested a purified green-tea compound, EGCG, in experimental models. It did not test ordinary tea drinking as an asthma treatment in patients.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.sandao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/green-tea-infused-in-a-white-porcelain-gaiwan.webp\" alt=\"Green tea infused in a white porcelain gaiwan\" width=\"680\" height=\"351\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block;max-width:100%;height:auto;margin:20px auto;\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2>What the paper investigated<\/h2>\n<p>The International Immunopharmacology paper used ovalbumin-induced asthma in mice and complementary cell experiments. Researchers examined airway responsiveness, inflammation, mucus-related changes and signaling involving TNF-\u03b1, TNF-R1 and NLRP3. The reported improvements help investigate a possible mechanism; the animal work was not an in-vitro-only experiment, and neither model was a clinical trial.<\/p>\n<h2>Why the dose cannot become a brewing recipe<\/h2>\n<p>A purified compound of specified concentration is different from a cup whose catechin content changes with leaf, water and brewing. Body-weight dosing in mice cannot be translated directly into a number of cups for a person. Better laboratory markers also do not establish that patients would have fewer attacks, better daily control or less need for prescribed treatment.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.sandao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/green-tea-brewing-in-a-short-clear-glass.webp\" alt=\"Green tea brewing in a short clear glass\" width=\"582\" height=\"646\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block;max-width:100%;height:auto;margin:20px auto;\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2>A research lead, not a replacement inhaler<\/h2>\n<p>The work supports further investigation of EGCG and inflammation. It does not establish green tea as rescue treatment or justify stopping an asthma plan. High-dose extracts add different safety questions from an ordinary beverage. If you enjoy tea, consider personal caffeine tolerance and keep asthma management with the appropriate clinical care.<\/p>\n<h2>Sources and further reading<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/39626539\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Zhang et al., 2025: EGCG in experimental asthma models<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nccih.nih.gov\/health\/green-tea\" rel=\"noopener\">NIH NCCIH: Green tea research and safety<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Related guides<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandao.com\/chinese-green-tea-glass-vs-gaiwan-brewing\/\">Chinese Green Tea Brewing: Glass Cup or Gaiwan?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandao.com\/chinese-green-tea-aroma-types\/\">Seven Chinese Green Tea Aromas: A Tasting Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandao.com\/chinese-green-tea-origin-regions\/\">Nine Chinese Green Tea Origins Worth Knowing<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandao.com\/encyclopedia\/tea\/\">Explore Tea Knowledge<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandao.com\/chinese-green-tea-types\/\">Ten Chinese green tea styles compared<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandao.com\/longjing-43-vs-quntizhong\/\">Longjing 43 and Quntizhong<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/trp-tag><br \/>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read an EGCG asthma study accurately: the experiments involved mice and cells, not proof that drinking green tea treats asthma in people.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":901251,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70,47],"tags":[71],"class_list":["post-901356","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-green-tea","category-tea-knowledge","tag-green-tea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sandao.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/901356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sandao.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sandao.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sandao.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sandao.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=901356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.sandao.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/901356\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sandao.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/901251"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sandao.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=901356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sandao.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=901356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sandao.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=901356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
