Will Tea Bags Help Ease A Black Eye?

Tea Bags For Black Eye

If you have somehow ended up with a black eye, one of the best treatments is to place a plain old black tea bag moistened with cool water over the injured eye socket. The tannins in the tea work to shrink swollen tissue and also help dialated blood vessels to contracts, which will ease inflammation. Caffeine can be absorbed through the body, so it's best to use decaffeinated tea bags.
