The smoothie for prevention and treatment of  Lichen planus
Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
1 1/2 cup tomato
1 cup green tea drink (Make from 4 grams of green tea and a cup of hot water lipped for 5 minutes, and let cool to room temperature)

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute

The finding of a natural source for treatment of  Lichen planus has been running into many obstacles, many ingredients showed initially with promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in large sample size and mutli centers human trials.

Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting skin and/or mucosal surfaces. The skin disease causes of lacy white patches and painful sores may be related to an allergic or immune over reaction. According to the Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, patients with lichen planus are associated to lower levels of vitamin C and high levels of free radicals induced oxidative damage(1). In fact, increased oxidative stress and imbalance in the antioxidant defense mechanisms in LP showed to play an essential role in the pathogenesis of LP(2)

Recent studies back by renowned institutions, conveyed that green tea(3) may be holding a key for extracting natural ingredient for reduced early onset and treatment of Lichen planus(LP).
Green tea has been a precious drink in traditional Chinese culture and used exceptional in socialization for more than 4000 thousand years. Due to its commercial values and health effects, green tea now has been cultivated all over the world in suitable climate. In the study of the effects of plant extracts/polyphenols on oral health, polyphenols (stilbenes, flavonoids and proanthocyanidins) found abundantly in green tea and berry may be the most effective in against oral chronic degenerative and inflammatory diseases(3)., including lichen planus(LP).

According Dr. Zhang J. and Dr. Zhou G. green tea ameliorated Oral lichen planus (OLP) through regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed, and secreted of RANTES (CCL5) chemokine as well as signaling involved in the pathogenesis of OLP(4).

Lycopene, found in tomato also exhibited anti lichen planus in the prevention of various oral diseases, according to the Swami Devi Dyal Hospital and Dental College(5).
In a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, lycopene exhibited (84%) reduction in burning sensation than in the placebo group (67%), attenuated oxidative stress in the management of oral lichen planus(6).

The finding of the effectiveness of Green Tea, Tomato may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies as well as a potential medication for treatment of  Lichen planus(LP).

People who are at increased risk of  Lichen planus(LP), due to family history, auto immunity,....should drink the juices at least one a day. People with  Lichen planus(LP) should drink the juice as much as  as they can depending to digestive toleration.

Life style and diet pattern change are recommended.
