I had pink eye when I was a teenager and two of my children had it too. I
heard that a warm "orange pekoe" tea bag helped, so I tried it. Something in the tea bag draws the infection out when it is place over the eye. Just warm up the teabag, place it over the closed infected eye with your head tilted back for as long as you can.(The longer and more frequent the better). This works! It's gross to look at the bag because the infection will be drawn to the bag. Change them after this happens and keep it as warm as possible. |

Black tea of any sort (even the cheapy stuff!) is extremely effective for all manner of infection. The tannin and boric acid in the tea draw out infection. For any infection, simply wet a black tea bag-- be sure it is black tea-- and place on the affected area. For infected cuts/wounds, this works best overnight. Apply the wet teabag to the area, then use plastic wrap to secure the teabag, and to seal in the moisture. It' important for the teabag to be air-tight. Use medical tape if necessary to ensure an airtight seal. Do this right before bed, and when you wake up in the morning, the infection will most likely be gone. I, myself, have had one instance of a severe infection that wasn't gone by morning, so i repeated the above steps and it was gone by the afternoon. |
