Dr. Oz often likes to show us new uses for everyday things, so he showed us a number of uses for tea bags. First up was Jennifer, who said she uses tea bags to alleviate bee sting pain. When Jennifer got stung by a bee, she didn’t know what to do. So she did some research and she found that tea bags can help get rid of the pain from bee stings.

Sheryl said she loves drinking lavender tea and she heard some of her friends talking about how lavender tea can really make a fresh smell in the carpet. So she tried it and it really works. She brews the tea and then she lets the bags completely dry out. Then, she opens up the tea bags and pours them out on her carpet. She lets them stay in the carpet for about ten minutes, then she vacuums them up.
