Hi there.

YES. Green tea has a diuretic effect on the body.
In fact almost all type of natural teas has a mild to moderate diuretic effect.

Have a nice day and keep healthy.



Mildly. If you want a good natural diuretic consider Dandelion (taraxacum). The French name for it is pisenlit, which means "pee the bed". Pharamceutical diurectics rob your body of potassium and lower your electrolyte levels in addition to damaging your kidneys. Dandelion actually contains potassium and boosts your electrolyte levels so you won't feel weak and woozy like people taking commercial diuretics do.



Probably very mild diuretic. There are lots of other herbal infusions with better diuretic capability than green tea.

Yes but just a little. Diurex water pills are good diuretics. Green tea reduces heart disease.
