Functional and properties of fig leaves as a tea:
The leaves contain polyphenols such as caffeoylmalic acid and rutin, which have antioxidant properties. Furthermore, in vivo and in vitro studies show that consumption of fig leaf tea alleviates type I allergy and AD. In cells, fig leaf tea inhibits the binding of IgE antibodies to the FcεRI receptors. Omalizumab, a treatment for asthma, inhibits the binding of IgE antibodies to the FcεRI receptor. In recent years, the alleviation of AD following omalizumab treatment has been reported. Based on these reports, fig leaf tea has therapeutic effects in AD. The consumption of fig leaf tea as a natural therapeutic agent against AD can be popularized to benefit public health.
