Hi Dan, I've heard of using tea bags on wounds but never used them myself in my mouth. A lot of dentist will tell you to use tea bags on the open wound after an extraction. With Love, CtrlAltDel aka Dave C4/5 Complete - 30 Years Post Texas, USA

The wound care nurse advised us to try it on a small area that would not close. The area was in a fold of skin on my bottom. Earlier I was told to use any wet to dry dressing of saline. She advised me to do the same procedure only using tea. I take 4 ounces of water, but a tea bag in the water and microwaves for 30 seconds. I allow the tea bag to remain in the water overnight, and use the same tea for morning and evening treatment. The area that was open for almost 2 months healed in less than two weeks. The idea is that the tea changes the pH of the skin and will not allow bacteria to grow. It also will toughen the skin while making it more pliable. Works for me, GA
