We never knew that the used tea bag and honey can be so beneficial to cure the insect bites.
How does it work?
Tea Bag Can Treat Insect Bites
To treat it, add some tea bags into boiling water for ten minutes, let cool, and then place on the sting using a cloth. This will helps to relieve inflammation with the tannin content in the tea to reduce swelling.
Other Ways to Use Honey
Honey helps kill bacteria that can cause infection. When honey comes into contact with damaged skin, it triggers the production of antibacterial hydrogen peroxide.
Furthermore, the sugar in honey means that there is only a small amount of room for water molecules (bacteria need water to survive, so reducing the amount available makes it difficult for them to grow).
Put honey and sugar can reduce bacteria in water and destroy them.
After washing your hands perfectly, clean the wound, and apply a little honey to it. To avoid spills, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly around the wound and do it several times a day.
