And not only for them! Foreign scientists came to this conclusion, considering the usual tea bags to be dangerous to health.
Probably, every home has a box with a tonic drink, and, of course, bags, unlike loose tea, are very convenient. For those who are in a hurry or lazy, and also not for ardent connoisseurs of good strong tea, this is an ideal option. And then, after all, these bags can be used for cosmetic purposes. How many of you have not applied used bags to relieve puffiness and blue under the eyelids?
But, to be honest, this way of returning freshness to the look is quite dangerous. Firstly, there are such craftsmen who use not cool, but warm (and sometimes too warm) bags, which can harm blood vessels and vision in general. You can only apply sachets soaked in cool water and preferably under the eyes, and not on them. Here the second reason for the possible danger is already creeping up – in fact, the very contents of the paper bag. It may not always be useful and tonic. So, when studying varieties of tea, packaged in bags, traces of treatment with pesticides were found. That is, this suggests that tea plantations actively used chemicals that, after settling on the finished product, then enter the human body.
In addition, the material can also be hazardous. Some unscrupulous manufacturers, trying to bleach the shell, treat it with epichlorohydrin, a carcinogen that can cause pathological diseases.
But high-quality good-quality tea, of course, is both tasty and healthy. It can be used not only as a tonic and decongestant, but also, for example, to soothe irritated or sunburned skin. Also, tannic acid in tea can stop bleeding – if you cut yourself, just apply a tea lotion to the wound.
