Healthy Uses for Your Old Teabags

** Tea Shave – If you get razor burn when shaving, you can
use a wet tea bag to reduce the soreness. Place a soaked bag
on the irritated area and it will reduce the irritation.

** Refresh your eyes – If you’ve got tired and weary eyes and
the bags are swelling up because you didn’t quite get enough
sleep last night, a couple of tea bags can help. Douse them
in lukewarm water, place them over your closed eyes and relax
for a while. You’re eyes will soon look much fresher.

** Tea Feet – If you’re feet are a bit whiffy, fill a bowl
with warm water and diffuse a number of tea-bags in it. Once
they’ve diffuse and the water changes colour relax your feet
in the bowl. The tea will lessen the odour of your feet.

** Stinging Tea – If you sting yourself on ivy or nettles try
padding the irritated area with a cotton ball dipped in tea:
it will relieve the pain.

** Shiny Hair – After you’ve shampooed your hair, rinse it
with a beaker of herbal fruit tea. It will give your hair
added shine and a pleasant smell.

** Furniture polish – You can use lukewarm tea to clean wood
furniture. Soak a clean cloth in the tea and then rub down
the dirty furniture. The tea will give the wood a natural
shine.

** Rose Tea – Tea is great for aiding the nourishment of
rosebushes. Place a few used tea bags at the base of the
plant and the rosebush will gather the nutrients
