Health and Beauty benefits/tips of Black Tea
Busts
under eye puffiness
Don't throw out the used teabag.
A quick and easy home remedy is to put the used bag in the fridge to cool it
and then place it under the eyes. Tea has caffeine, which aids in shrinking
blood vessels under the eyes and thus reduces puffiness and dark circles.
Eliminates foot odor
Suffering
from smelly feet? Don't just use a deo on them; instead soak your feet in a
solution that made of boiled black tea. Tea is anti-bacterial and stops the
'foot sweat' thus reducing the smell. It also closes the pores of the feet.
Oral
Health
The catechin antioxidants
contained in black tea help in the reduction of oral cancers. The polyphenols
and tannin act as antibiotics, thus inhibiting the bacteria that cause tooth
decay. Black tea contains fluoride which fights bad breath and prevents tooth
decay by eradicating harmful bacteria from the oral cavity. A daily dose of two
cups of black tea provides around 1.5 mg fluorides.
Fighting
those mimic wrinkles
You can freeze some freshly made
tea and use ice cubes to tone your skin every morning and evening. Just pass an
ice cube over your face and neck till it melts completely. Iced tea moisturizes
your skin, it is very refreshing and makes your face look smoother.
Healthy
Bones And Connective Tissue
The powerful phytochemicals in
black tea help in strengthening the bones and connective tissue. In fact,
research has proved that black tea drinkers have comparatively healthier bones.
Control
Hair loss
The caffeine present in black tea
helps in decreasing DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), a hormone found in the scalp
that causes hair loss. Thus, black tea helps in increasing the hair thickness
and lowering the hair loss.

Shiny hair
Using black tea rinses as part of
your hair care regimen adds shine, luster and natural darkness to your hair
because of its dark hue. For this purpose, add 3 bags of tea to 6 cups of
boiling water. After keeping this mix for an hour at room temperature, pour it
on your head and wrap your hair in a towel. Wash your hair normally after an
hour or two.
