Video Transcript

"Have you ever woken up with swollen eyes or puffy eyes and feel like, oh my God, what am I going to do, I have this big meeting today. Worry no more, I'm Isabelle Simon your personal and workplace wellness consultant, and today we're going to learn how to use tea bags for swollen eyes. What you will want to do is soak two tea bags, one for each eye, and put them in hot water. You want to let the tea simmer for a few minutes. Here for the purpose of demonstration we'll just simmer them for a few seconds. But what you want to do is let them cool of just a tad, because hot water on your eyes may hurt, so just let them cool down just a little bit. And then what you will want to do is take each tea bag and apply them gently, you can actually lay down and do this, that will be easier. But you would apply them gently onto your eyes and just let them sit there for 5 to 10 minutes until they cool off. If you have more time you can actually put them in the fridge or even the freezer and let them really get cold and your- the swell in your eye will actually diminish much faster when it's cold, but it depends on how much time you have. One thing you may want to use is a towel if you lay on your back so that it doesn't drip all over your pillow or anything like this. And that is really as simply as that. I hope those tips help you. I'm Isabelle Simon your personal and workplace wellness consultant. Today we learned how to use tea bags for swollen eyes. And remember, good health begins with good nutrition."
