Amazing Uses Of Teabags

Who doesn't like to start the day with a steaming cup of tea ! It is all the more easy to make tea since, teabags started, as just one just needs to boil water in the kettle, drop teabag in your mug, pour hot water, milk, sugar and stir, there, your tea is ready.

Normally after drinking your cup of tea, you throw the teabag away, but after reading its amazing uses, you're not going to discard them easily.

1. Soothe sunburns

Take a tea bag filled with black tea and rinse it with cold water.
It will be your new best friend when you get a sunburn during the summer or when traveling abroad. Black tea contains tannic acid that helps the skin heal and gives you a prolonged cooling sensation.

2. Relieve minor burns

You can use the same tea bags that use for sunburns for another urgent situation.
If you accidentally burn yourself, apply a tea bag on the affected skin. The tannins in black black tea also soothe minor burns.

3. Get rid of warts

Did you know that green tea contains antioxidants that can prevent warts from growing? Take a used tea bag after it’s cooled down and place it on top of the wart.
After 15 minutes, remove the tea bag and replace it with a new one. Leave the second one on for another 15 minutes. Then, wait a few days and your wart will fall off.

4.  Put an end to puffy eyes

The tannins found in black tea can also help soothe the puffy bags under your eyes.
The next time you drink a cup of tea, save the teabag. Put it in a small container and place it in the refrigerator for a day or two. Then, when you feel like it’s time to do something about the bags under your eyes, grab a couple tea bags from your refrigerator.

5. Remove grease stains

Do you let your dishes soak because of stubborn stains?
Just fill your sink with water and dirty dishes. Then, throw a few tea bags in the water. The stains will be much easier to remove.

6. Weed killer

A bag of tea can be turned into a weed-killing concoction.
Try apply brewed black tea to weeds, or make a tea recipe of citrus (orange or grapefruit), tea, and water. Black tea steeped in a jar of vinegar with orange rind can also be used as a spray.

7. Fertilizer

Not only can you compost tea bags as fertilizer in the compost bin, but loose leaf teas and compostable tea bags may be dug in around plants.
Roses love it, and so do houseplants and garden plants like ferns. You can also dig the tea bags or loose leaves in around plants to utilize the tea bags for plant growth directly around the root system.

Here's why organic food is gaining popularity

The demand for organic foods began with fruits and vegetables when there were reports of pesticide residues in them. However, the popularity of organic foods has now extended to food grains, pulses, tea, spices and even oil-seeds.

"Organic foods have gained popularity because people have become aware of their benefits. They contain no chemical pesticides and fertilizers and are grown naturally with manure or compost and only natural pesticides and insecticides are used," said a Dr.

 "Children are more susceptible than adults to diseases caused by chemical pesticide residues in food and so parents prefer to give them organic foods. Another advantage is that organic foods do not contain growth hormones or antibiotic residues. Animals are often given growth hormones and antibiotics in animal feeds which are directly passed into animal foods like meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy products and from foods to the consumers. In organic farming these practices are banned and animals feed outside in natural surroundings. Antibiotic containing foods consumed frequently makes these antibiotics ineffective in humans," he added.

Organic food products are either grown under a natural system of agriculture, without the use of synthetic fertilizers or they are processed products made from organically produced raw materials.
"Therefore, any food offered for sale as 'organic food' , needs to comply with the provisions laid down by the authority. There are a number of organic brands that use the term 'organic" on labels but if these products are not certified then their authenticity is suspect," said the Dr.

According to a research team such foods that are labelled organic but not certified cannot be considered safe. The agency also mentioned the need for a uniform standard for organic foods in its last report.

 All organic foods certified under this logo also need to convey the full and accurate information on labels about the organic status of the food.
