1. Reduce Eye Puffiness

Tea contains caffeine, which constricts blood vessels, reduces swelling, and relieves eye fatigue. Soak a black tea bag in warm water, let it cool, and place it over your eyes. Lie down for 10 minutes, and the fatigue will gradually fade, leaving your eyes feeling refreshed.

2. Eliminate Dandruff

Boil half a cup of water, add chamomile tea, steep for 10 minutes, then mix in 1/4 cup of olive oil. Use a comb to apply the mixture to your hair. Chamomile helps purify and condition the scalp, removing dandruff, while olive oil moisturizes.

3. Relieve Foot Odor

The tannins in tea act as an astringent. Using leftover black tea to soak your feet can help alleviate foot odor.

4. Stop Bleeding and Reduce Inflammation

Soak a black tea bag in warm water and apply it to a wound for a few minutes. This helps stop bleeding, reduce inflammation, and soothe the pain from cuts or strains.

5. Treat Acne

Green tea has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Mix tea leaves soaked in hot water with facial cleanser, massage onto your face for 5 minutes, then rinse. This can help treat acne.

6. Moisturize Skin

Steep green tea in boiling water, then cover your head with a towel and hold your face over the steam for 5 minutes. This helps brighten and hydrate the skin. Be careful to maintain a safe distance to avoid burns.

Drinking tea promotes health preservation, but the type of tea should vary with the seasons.

Spring: Flower Tea

In spring, when everything revives, people often feel drowsy. A cup of fragrant flower tea can refresh the mind, dispel sleepiness, and help the body's阳气 (vital energy) grow, driving away the cold accumulated in winter. Choose flower tea based on personal preference and its benefits.

Summer: Green Tea or Pu-erh Tea

Summer is hot and dry, leading to excessive sweating and energy loss. Green tea, with its cooling nature, helps clear heat, quench thirst, and aid digestion.

Autumn: Oolong Tea

Autumn's dry weather causes thirst and chapped lips, known as "autumn dryness" in Chinese medicine. Oolong tea, with its moderate nature, moisturizes the skin and throat, clears internal heat, and helps the body adapt to seasonal changes.

Winter: Black Tea

Winter brings cold temperatures, and the body's functions slow down, requiring more energy and nutrition. Black tea, with its warm and sweet properties, nourishes the body's阳气 (vital energy), provides warmth, and enhances cold resistance. It also aids digestion and reduces greasiness.
