Abstract
Tea is well-known throughout the world for its distinct flavour and beneficial effects on human health. Recent research on tea has demonstrated that many of its constituents offer notable health benefits. Herbal teas include a variety of organic anti-inflammatory substances that may be beneficial to human health, including antioxidants that help the body resist stress, and tea is a fantastic technique to alleviate pain and inflammation. The prepared C-Tea, which is used to resist stress and menstrual cramps, was fed to the zebrafish for 30 days in three different concentrations (1mg, 4mg, and 8mg). Zebrafish are an emerging animal model to study metabolic, oxidative, and inflammatory vascular processes relevant to the pathogenesis of humans. The second-most often employed animal in medical research is the zebrafish. Zebrafish usage has grown significantly over the past ten years, frequently displacing the use of rats. Toxicological studies were conducted on the 15th and 30th days of the treatment to analyze the toxic effects of the C-Tea. This study shows that the C- tea does not have any harmful effects on zebra fish and can be used as a beverage for stress and menstrual cramps.KEY WORDS: Herbal tea, C-Tea, Stress, Menstrual Cramps, Toxicological studies
