Have you ever wondered what to do with used tea bags? Instead of throwing them away, there are actually several beneficial ways to reuse them. Check out the following ideas:

1. Soothe tired eyes
If your eyes are feeling swollen and fatigued, use a black tea bag that has been soaked in hot water. Apply the tea bag to your eyes for about 15 minutes and gently massage the area. The tannin in the tea will provide relief, reduce puffiness, and even diminish dark circles.
Store used tea bags in a sealed box in the refrigerator for a cool and refreshing experience when used again.

2. Soothe sunburn
If you’ve been sunburned, drinking tea can provide some relief. You can also use a brewed tea bag to apply to the skin and soothe the uncomfortable sensation. The tannic acid in tea helps with this. Additionally, you can cool the brewed tea and use it to rinse or bathe.

3. Relieve minor burns
For minor burns, it’s important to seek medical attention for proper treatment. However, if it’s a minor burn, you can cool the burn with cold water and then use a brewed tea bag to apply to the burn for pain relief and reduced discomfort.

To achieve smooth and dandruff-free hair, you can brew tea, let it cool, and use it to massage your scalp daily. Alternatively, you can use the first rinse water after brewing to wash your hair.

6. Plant flowers
The tannin in tea can help lower the pH level in the soil, preventing the growth of mold and fungi when planting flowers. Simply place a used tea bag (or bury the tea leaves directly) into the soil.
