Sunburned skin

Forgot to dab sunscreen before leaving for work? Worry not. A few wet black tea bags when applied to the affected skin will take out the sting. Incidentally, this particular remedy works well for minor burns (such as those that happened from a teapot or steam iron) too. However, if the sunburn is big enough, drop some tea bags in your bathwater and soak your body in the tub to gain from the beneficial tea.

Gray hair

How de-motivating is the sight watching a few strands of gray hair shining in our scalp. It is not secret that most of us look for remedies on how to reduce white hair. We take recourse to chemical hair dyes that end up doing a reasonable harm to our hair. You can turn around the table by turning gray hair dark again without applying the usual hair colour. Place 3 tea bags in 1 cup of boiling water. Add 1 tablespoon each of rosemary and sage and let it stand overnight before you strain. To use, shampoo your hair the normal way and then pour or spray the mixture on your hair. Take reasonable care not to stain clothes in the process. Blot with a towel and do not rinse. Repeat this several times to get the desired results.

Drain a boil

Boils on the skin are not only painful, they end up hurting our daily chores. Cover your pesky boil with a wet tea bag overnight and the boil should drain out without pain by the time you wake up next morning.

Black tea can clean glasses and windows too, apart from being a beauty tonic. Add 3-4 black tea bags to 4 cups of boiling water. Let it steep for 10 minutes and then pour the water in a spray bottle.
