    guess it could but only at the early stages

    "GTP is well tolerated and appears to provide, at least, a mild symptomatic benefit in early untreated PD."

    I hope that helps!  Please let us know.  Rooibos also helps to calm and sooth nerves and some studies show some mild reduction in Parkinson symptoms

    I know tea has been found to help reduce the chance of getting Parkinsons as well.. specifically Black tea.

    Here's some more specific, detailed reading on the subject:

    You can try to drink the green tea. Because the tea polyphenols in the green tea can increase the brain dopamine components, which plays a role in protecting neurons. That would help preventing from Parkinsons disease.
