4 Uses of Tea Bags from TLC!
1.
Feeding the plants:
Tea bags are great for your garden. Tea bags enrich the role by increasing nitrogen levels but also give earthworms something yummy to eat! You can put your tea bags in the compost to help reduce garbage and nurture their plants. Don’t compost? That’s fine! You can steep a tea bag in water until the water slightly changes colour and then use it to water your plants. If you want to help your garden grow bury the tea bag outside, don’t worry tea bags will decompose!
2. Under eye Circles:
Do a tea bag compress to get rid of puffy under eyes! The tannin in tea bags has been proven to reduce swelling and discolouration. Either place the tea bag in the fridge or let it cool off for about an hour. Then damp the tea bag over your eyes for 10-15 minutes.
3. Odor Control!
Tea leaves absorb surround odor, even if they have already been used. Place a used tea bag in the fridge, dry out the tea bag, empty the used tea bag and sprinkle your leave in your vacuum cleaner. Your carpets will smell SOOO nice! Even try these spots in your house for a nice in places you wouldn’t expect! -Litter box, wooden cutting board, or your stinky shoes!
4. Sooth the Skin
Tea bags can be used on so many skin maladies. Tea bags can reduce the size of a wart, even eliminate a sty or even a mosquito bite. All you need to do is make sure the tea bag is still warm and that you compress for 10-15 minutes. Tea bags also helped bruises heal faster, and sooth painful sunburn.
