Matcha tea curbs sneezing in allergic rhinitis mouse model
An early‑access study published in npj Science of Food showed that mice engineered to have allergic rhinitis sneezed fewer times after receiving oral matcha tea two to three times weekly for over five weeks and a dose before allergen exposure. The reduction occurred without changes in IgE, mast cell, or T‑cell activity, suggesting a novel anti‑sneeze mechanism.
