Tea leaves are rich in nutrients that can benefit your garden.
- Compost Boost:
- Toss used tea bags into your compost pile. The tea leaves will decompose and enrich the compost with nitrogen, enhancing its quality.
- Natural Pest Deterrent:
- Spread the contents of dried tea bags around your garden plants. The slight acidity and fragrance of the tea can help deter pests and even nourish the soil as they decompose.
Beauty and Health Uses
Used tea bags can also be part of your beauty routine.
- Soothing Eye Compress:
- Cool, moist tea bags are excellent for reducing eye puffiness. Just place chilled tea bags over your closed eyes for a few minutes to help soothe and reduce inflammation.
- Relieve Minor Skin Irritations:
- The tannins in tea can calm minor skin irritations and sunburns. Apply a cooled tea bag to the affected area to help soothe the skin.
