May help relieve eczema

Both black and green teas have been researched for their capacity to help relieve the symptoms of atopic dermatitis, often known as eczema, and while preliminary results are promising, further study is required to produce clear results. Similarly, in 2001, short research looked into oolong tea's capacity to help treat eczema in 118 people with severe eczema. In addition to their regular medication, they were advised to consume 33 ounces (1 liter) of oolong tea every day.

After one month, their conditions had improved "markedly to moderately", with evidence of improvement seen as early as 1 to 2 weeks into the research. Furthermore, the improvement was maintained and was still seen in 54% of the people 5 months later. When analyzing the findings, bear in mind the age and breadth of the study.
