GABA is a recent discovery and, although it was known to exist in plants in the 1900s, it wasn’t until the 1950s that it was discovered to be present in the mammalian brain.

GABA stands for Gamma-aminobutyric acid. It is an amino acid enzyme that acts as a neurotransmitter within the body’s central nervous system. It preventing neurons from “overfiring” by  decreasing their activity. It is therefore very needed for brain metabolism. It influences and prevents certain signals from getting to the brain’s center, especially those relating to anxiety and stress.

Science has used GABA quite successfully in the treatment of many emotionally related disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, pre menstrual depression, anxiety attacks, seizures and various fear and phobia related disorders.

GABA has been proven to be effective in improving sleep cycles because of its ability to bring calm and rest to bodily functions, and thus can be used instead of less desirable and addictive drugs as a sleeping aid.

GABA’s properties have also been proven to have a significant affect in stabilizing blood pressure and it is very effective in helping to reduce high blood pressure. Taking GABA in the form of organic GABA tea is the most effective way to use it for controlling high blood pressure.

GABA has also been know as an effective, natural analgesic and has been used successfully to ease pain (in some cases eliminating pain completely) form arthritis sufferers and people with lower back pain problems. It is very effective in curbing the intensity of pain and lessening nerve impulses that are pain and fear related.

A lot has been said about GABA’s ability to increase levels of human growth hormone (HGH). Increased levels of HGH are sought after because of its affect on the body in the areas of muscle toning and fat elimination.

GABA can also be used as a mild form of a tranquilizer. One of the biggest advantages of using GABA, instead of the more widely used tranquilizers such as Valium, is that GABA is not addictive.

GABA has a lot to offer in mankind’s fight to combat and overcome some of his biggest health problems – high blood pressure, anxiety, stress and much more. For this reason as people, especially in Western countries, become more aware of its value, simple but vital products such as natural GABA tea will become more sought after in demand.
