We often hear that green tea is being consumed for weight loss and general health benefits. But have you heard of the use of green tea to reduce eye puffiness and dark circles, eliminate bad breath and odor, condition hair, relieve burns and many other problems?
Well, green tea is a simple, highly effective go-to ingredient for all your daily needs.
Here are the top 8 green tea remedies.
1. Anti-swelling
Green tea contains caffeine, which can help reduce swelling symptoms. Just steep 2 sachets of green tea in 1 cup of hot water for 10 minutes. Then take it out, drain the excess liquid and put it in the refrigerator for 1 hour to cool.
Next, place the tea bag on your closed eye for 10-15 minutes and apply gentle pressure to press the tea bag onto your eye.
2. Burns
Green tea contains tannins and also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help speed up the healing of burns.
Just steep 2 sachets of green tea in 1 cup of hot water for 10 minutes. Then remove it, drain excess liquid, let cool, then apply directly to the burn to soothe it.
3. For bears
Applying cold green tea bags to your eyes can help reduce the appearance of dark circles.
An already steeped green tea bag should be placed in the refrigerator for an hour before using it for dark circles.
Leave the tea bag in the eye for 15-20 minutes, then remove.
4. For hair conditioning
Green tea hair conditioner helps promote hair growth and reduce hair loss while leaving hair smooth, soft and silky.
Mix 1 tablespoon of green tea, 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil and 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil and apply it all over your hair and scalp. Do this once or twice a week.
5. Eliminate foot odor
Green tea kills bacteria and helps reduce the formation of odor-causing bacteria.
You can soak two green tea bags in half a bucket of hot water.
6. Bad breath
The antibacterial properties of the polyphenolic compounds in green tea help prevent bad breath-causing bacteria.
Drinking a cup of green tea every day can help prevent bad breath over time.
7. For sunburn
Green tea contains a compound called tannic acid and theobromine, which can help relieve pain and heal damaged skin.
Therefore, you can steep two green tea bags in a cup of hot water and then chill. Strain the green tea water and refrigerate this green tea for one hour. After that, dip a cotton swab in this green tea and gently apply it to the sunburned area.
8. For beautiful skin
Green tea is rich in vitamin E, which helps promote healthier, more beautiful and nourished skin.
Therefore, drinking a cup of green tea on an empty stomach each morning or simply applying cold green tea topically to your face, leaving it on for an hour and then washing it off with a mild conditioner will give your skin the best benefits.
