In Praise of Tea...bags
This year the seasonal allergies have hit me hard. My eyes are constantly tearing and burning. I didn't want to go the traditional med route until I'd tried other things, so I googled and found that cold tea bags on your eyes for 10 minutes a day should help. Well this morning I tried it and it works!!!
Aaaaaahhhh!
I suggest round tea bags, by the way. They fit nicely.

"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark

Yes, tea bags for the eyes are great. What kind did you use? Some might be more soothing that others. I've used tea bags for styes before. It draws out the infection. But be careful ... don't share a tea bag between eyes, they spread infection quickly. Use a different tea bag for each -- I learned the hard way.
Oooo, thanks for the tip! I used Tetley tea bags. Round.
i ot something in my eye the other day, and its raw and itchy. drives me nuts.
Oh, I hope it feels better, Marilena. I hate when I have something in my eye like that.
