Use tea bags to help with dental pain. Place over area to reduce pain and swelling. They contain tannic acid.

on number one would they help for some one that was a veteran and got feet fungus from agent orange?cause my poor dad has really bad feet and no matter what he tries it always ends up just not helping.medications only work for so long then he is back to the way it was before?gonna try to soak his feet in tea bags.i mean try anything if it might slightly help right.said it would help with allergic reactions too,maybe it would help a little bit.
