Health Benefits of Pu-erh
In China, Pu-erh is commonly used as a blood purifier, hangover cure and digestive aid - especially after a healthy meal. According to WebMD, there is interest in using pu-erh tea for lowering cholesterol because, unlike other teas, it contains small amounts of a chemical called lovastatin. Lovastatin is a prescription medicine used for lowering cholesterol. Animal research suggests that pu-erh tea might lower certain blood fats called triglycerides as well as total and bad low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. It might also raise good high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.
