Chamomile Tea Bags
While chamomile can help with eye conditions, it is important to be careful when using it because some people are sensitive or allergic to the plant.
In the event that you’re certain that you don’t have any allergy or sensitivity to chamomile, you can benefit from using it.
However, just a reminder—when using tea bags, make sure that they’re well sealed without any holes to make sure that nothing enters the eye. If a bit of the tea enters your eye (like with any other object), it can cause an infection.

Advice for Dark Circles and Bags Under the Eyes
As we have seen, tea bags can help with dark circles, eye bags, and even conditions like conjunctivitis. Here is one final tip for treating dark circles and eye bags. First, you need to cool the tea bags by placing them in the refrigerator.
The cold stimulates circulation and helps drain the eye area of any liquids. Just leave the tea bags in the refrigerator for a few minutes and then put one cold tea bag over each eye and let sit for ten minutes.
