Green Tea
Green tea helps in relieving skin infections through antioxidants. Antioxidants help in reducing the infection caused due to bacterial and fungal infections. The role of green tea is to cleanse your body and immune system. Instead of opting for antibiotics, try this natural way to eliminate skin problems. You will be surprised to know that not only will it cure your skin problems, but it will also have a positive impact on your overall health.
Green tea contains catechins, powerful antioxidants that help the body fight off bacteria and reduce inflammation. Bacteria cause many skin infections, and green tea helps fight the swelling and redness associated with them. Green tea is also a mild astringent, which means it helps with dry, scaly skin. You can apply green tea in several ways: as a compress, as a solution for bathing, or directly onto the skin by soaking a cotton ball. To use green tea as a compress, simply place a towel over the infected area and pour hot green tea over the towel.
The water’s heat will release the tea leaves’ healing ingredients. To use green tea as a bathing solution, steep 5-10 crushed green tea leaves in 1 cup of hot water for 5 minutes. Pour this into your bathtub and soak in it to reduce pain and itching. To apply green tea directly to irritated skin, soak a cotton ball or pad in hot green tea, then gently apply this to the infected area.
