What Is a Green Tea Diet Patch?
A green tea diet patch is a small, sticky patch infused with concentrated green tea. It is applied to the skin to encourage weight loss. Theoretically, the green tea in the patch enters the body when it is absorbed through the skin, where it then decreases appetite and speeds up metabolism. Green tea has long been used to encourage weight loss for these reasons. The diet patch is a relatively new development, coming after the success of the use of nicotine patches to help people quit smoking. A green tea diet patch is designed to be applied to clean, dry skin; often, the patch will be applied to the lower back, stomach, or shoulder. It is important not to apply powder or lotion before applying the patch, to make sure it sticks, and that the green tea can be absorbed.
