The Healing Power of Tea
Resources
Houseplants love tea too! Put a few in the base of a planter on top of the drainage material. Add soil as usual. The tea bag will hold moisture and gradually leech nutrients into the soil. This is especially good for acid loving plants like African Violets and ferns.
Tea is the most popular drink in the world today but tea isn’t just for drinking anymore. Tea has amazing healing powers and can be used as a cleaning agent or even to deliver a quick antique look to piece of paper.
Patch the lawn with a self made tea bag patch. Place the tea bag, or bags, in the area that needs to be seeded. Wet them thoroughly. Then sprinkle the grass seed on them. The bags will hold moisture so that the grass seeds can germinate then the bags will decompose leaving no messy clean-up.

Use tea to make paper look old. Depending on the strength of the tea and the length of time it is left in, colors from ivory to ecru can be made. This is a fantastic way to make unique party invitations, parchment for hand written letters, photo mattes, and even pirate maps.
Soothe aching eyes with wet tea bags. After a long day of staring at a computer screen brew up a spot of tea and place the bags [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] warm or cool [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], on your eyelids. Lie back and rest for fifteen minutes and your eyes (and you) will feel invigorated. Chilled Chamomile tea is particularly effective against puffiness.
Say goodbye to the sting of sunburns. A wet tea bag will remove the stinging sensation from burnt skin. If the patch is small keep the tea bag in place with a piece of gauze. If the burn covers a large area of the body place ten tea bags in the bathtub and take a cool tea bath. This works on other burns as well.
A wet tea bag stops gum bleeding. If a child has just lost a tooth press a wet tea bag against the gums for a minute. This works wonders on extracted wisdom teeth too!
Oldie But Goodie
Brew up a strong batch of tea and clean mirror with a streak free shine. The tea won’t leave streaks and doesn’t contain harmful chemicals like many cleaning agents do.
Tea is more versatile than most people imagine. It’s a healer, a gardener, and even a cleaner! So much more than just a thirst quenching summer drink.
Ever Thought of Cleaning With Tea?
Shaving nicks are the pits. Stop the bleeding and soothe the skin at the same time with a cool, wet tea bag. Not only will it stop the burning sensation it will remove the red razor burn too.
For old school fireplaces (not the fancy gas ones,) sprinkle wet tea on the ashes to keep them from flying all about when cleaning them out.
