Don't throw away some leftover tea leaves and cold tea soup easily. Make them into external agents and apply them to the affected area, which can often save the skin from danger. Experts remind that the leaves suitable for wiping the skin are often soft and delicate in texture, among which lightly fermented oolong teas, such as Tieguanyin, Phoenix Dancong, and Taiwan Mountain Oolong, are the best.

3. Tea stems made into pillows can relieve headaches

Some friends suffer from long-term insomnia due to work pressure, neurasthenia and so on. An old Chinese doctor introduced me to making a pillow with tea stalks. Later, my insomnia and headache problems were greatly alleviated. Later, after looking up information, I found that tea has the effects of sterilization, anti-radiation, relieving heat and fever, calming the nerves and relieving anxiety. Even the tea leaves after drinking have the same aromatic smell and the effects of sterilization and calming the nerves. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the head is the meeting point of all yang and the home of intelligence. Qi and blood all gather in the head, and the head is closely connected with the meridians and acupoints throughout the body. The volatile components of certain aromatic natural plants have the effects of removing phlegm and calming the nerves, invigorating the brain, and dilating peripheral blood vessels. They act directly on the head, prevent diseases, eliminate evil, balance qi and blood, and regulate yin and yang. Therefore, the tea pillow made of tea dregs and tea stems not only has the effect of calming the mind and maintaining health, but also can quickly eliminate fatigue and let you fall asleep peacefully. In addition, if there are not enough tea stems, we can collect the waste tea we drink every day, dry it, and make it into pillows, which is also very effective.
