Here's A Natural Treatment For Painful Ailments Like Pink Eye And Canker Sores

Do you have a habit of enjoying a nice cup of tea every day? We hope that you’re not throwing away the teabag afterwards! This little pouch can easily soothe anything from sunburns to canker sores and make you healthier and happier!

Here’s what teabags can help you with:

  1. Heal bruises

Green and black teabags contain tannins which can shrink swollen tissues and narrow blood vessels, which is why they’re helpful for healing bruises. The next time you have a black eye, make yourself a cup of tea, then let the teabag cool down and apply it on the bruised area. You will be amazed by the results!

  1. Shrink warts

Teas possess tannic acid and antibacterial properties which make them a great natural remedy for shrinking warts. Put a warm (not scalding hot!) teabag over the wart a couple of times a day and repeat the procedure until the wart shrinks completely.

  1. Treat sunburns

The summer is approaching fast, and with it come the long awaited sunbathing and enjoying at beaches. However, many people don’t know how to protect against the scolding hot sun, and end up with sunburns. Thankfully, teabags can help you in this case. Make some tea then let the teabags cool down completely before applying them on your hot skin, or place some teabags in the tub and soak yourself in tea. The same method can be applied to minor burns from irons, teapots and steam irons.

  1. Soothe razor burns

Is your razor blade worn? Did you try to shave without a shaving cream? In case you’re suffering from razor burns, put a wet teabag on the affected area and you will reduce the burn in no time!

  1. Treats pinkeye

Green tea contains bioflavonoids that can reduce inflammation and fight viral and bacterial infections, which is why placing a teabag over your infected eye can easily treat this common infection.

  1. Treat smelly feet

Black tea is a known astringent which can soak up the odor from your sweaty feet. The tannins in black tea can eliminate the bacteria that cause the bad odor, which is why you need to soak your feet in black tea for 20 minutes every day.

  1. Treat canker sores

Canker sores are painful ulcers inside the oral cavity which can become very irritating and unpleasant. They are not contagious, and are caused by different things such as stress, spicy food, hormonal changes or hard brushing. In order to soothe canker sores, you should apply a tea bag dipped in water directly on the sore and let it sit for 5 minutes several times a day.

  1. Treat acne

Teas are full of antioxidants that can fight everything from cancer to heart disease besides strengthening your immune system which will prepare your body to fight acne. Besides drinking tea every day, you can also apply cold tea bags to the affected areas on your skin and leave them for up to 20 minutes. Other effective acne remedies are tea tree oil, lemon juice and vitamin C – try a different combination and see what suits your skin best.

As you can see, besides making a delicious beverage, teabags can be a powerful home remedy against numerous diseases and conditions. Drink tea every day and use the teabags to improve your overall health.
