11 Things You Didn't Know About Tea Bags

1.  Used teabags can help soothe sore gums. The tannins in tea can help reduce swelling and bleeding.
2.  They can also be used to relieve sunburns. A nice cool teabag can definitely help ease the pain of a sunburn.
3.  Rejuvenate those tired looking eyes. Again, our friends called 'tannins' can help bring the swollen, puffy eyes down. I recommend using a cool teabag instead of a hot one.
4.  Soothe and relieve burns by pressing a cold, damp teabag on the affected area.
5.  Did you know that tea can also be used as a hair rinse? The benefits range from controlling dandruff to adding more shine.
6.  Got warts? Shrink them with a used tea bag! The antioxidants play a big role in shrinking down unwanted warts. Make sure you wrap it up, and then replace it with a fresh teabag after 15 minutes.
7.  Drop a teabag into your shoes to get rid of any unwelcome odors.
8.  Plant some tea bags in your garden to help lower the pH levels of soil. Having a lower pH level prevents fungal growth, and stimulates a healthy plant.
9.  Got dishes soaking in the sink? De-grime them with a teabag.
10. You can also wash dirty mirrors with used teabags.
11.  Teabags can also help get any scent from your hands as well. If you just chopped onions, garlic, or another strongly scented food, this will help get rid of the smell.
