Tea with BEE23 DIY! From our sweet Tea with Genuine Tea

The caffeine in green and black tea bags acts as an antioxidant. Caffeine is a diuretic which means that it helps to drain swelling and reduce congestion on the eye. That’s why caffeine is often used infused in beauty products – it’s a stimulant and gets the blood flowing. And when you have good microcirculation this brings oxygen and nutrients to the skin. However, those beauty products often lack the extra boost provided by the tannins and flavonoids in the tea. Tannins are similar to caffeine in which it aids in constricting blood vessels to reduce blood flow. This will lead to a reduction in the appearance of dark circles around your eyes.
As per request, we are posting our little DIY with our Hotty Balm from BEE23 Tea with Genuine Tea. So easy you can do it while on retreat. Leftover tea bags may help to improve the appearance of your eyes by reducing dark circles, puffiness, and redness through its anti-inflammatory effect, by lifting fluid build-up and tightening the skin.

 Green tea bags specifically work best because not only do they have caffeine, but they also contain Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), another anti-inflammatory. EGCG helps to remove under eye fluid buildup (the main culprit for under-eye circles and bags). Plus, green tea's packed with antioxidants and has a higher flavonoid content. Aside from caffeinated teas, chamomile and rooibos tea are also effective in treating and refreshing sore or red eyes. They contain anti-inflammatory properties that may help to reduce any swelling or inflammation that accompanies irritated eyes. Alternatively, eyebright or lavender teas on your eyes help retain moisture and alleviate dryness. The soothing properties of these teas can relieve any irritation or sensitivities you may be experiencing.    What you need:
  • Leftover tea bags or tea leaves (preferably green tea)
  • Powdered oatmeal
  • Water or witch hazel

INSTRUCTIONS. Don’t throw away your teabags! Let your used tea bags cool. Tear them open putting the used loose tea into a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of powdered oatmeal in with the used tea (use a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle to grind oatmeal into a soft powder). Add 2 tsp. of water or witch hazel to make a paste or as much until you reach the desired consistency. Rub the paste gently on your face fully covering the face and around eyes as long as it’s not falling into the eye. Leave on for at least 15 minutes and rinse off with lukewarm water. Pat dry. And PUT your HOTTY BALM on. Check out our sweet natural beauty balms product line at www.bee23.ca!

Reach for Plants ~ Rhodiola to the Rescue

Reach for Plants ~ Rhodiola to the Rescue The other day I was feeling off, stressy and overwhelmed. I feel it has a lot to do with the constant unseasonable rain and cloud cover. After unsuccessful attempts to redirect my mood, I decided to have a time out and it popped in my head to add some Rhodiola rosea to my Kombucha. It felt as if only minutes had passed, and this lightness came over me. The heavy overwhelm lifted, my mood noticeably softened. It is a good reminder that our plant allies are there at the ready to help! Studies have found rhodiola may help strengthen the body’s response to physical stressors like exercise and psychological stressors such as fatigue and depression. Other studies, many in test tubes and animals, have suggested that rhodiola may help protect against certain health conditions, such as cancer, depression, and diabetes. However, more research is necessary to quantify how traditional medicine already uses this herb. Rhodiola has been used in trad...

8 Reasons Why You Need Iodine!

I wanted to share an experience I had the other week that lead me to do a whole lot more reading on iodine. During a gym visit I was massaging the Lymphatic Body Oil into my neck after my steam, and I noticed how painful from my ear to my throat was, along with swelling in my thyroid on the right side. That same week prior to this discovery, I had decided to get an iodine liquid supplement and it arrived one day after I noticed this inflammation. I began taking the iodine supplement once a day and within 72 hours my neck had no pain, and my thyroid was completely back to normal. This prompted me to take a deeper dive into understanding iodine and how it functions in our body. 8 Reasons Why You Need Iodine Iodine is a trace mineral, and we need it in very tiny amounts, but it has huge impact on the functioning of our bodies. Babies need 90 mg of iodine, while adolescents and adults need 150 mg, with pregnant women needing 220 mg and breastfeeding women requiring 270 mg. It would appea...
