Certain ancestral practices are slowly resurfacing… And among them, one in particular is arousing curiosity: burning a few bay leaves at home. Surprising? Perhaps. But what if this method actually has more to offer than we think? Focus on a tradition combining soothing scents, simplicity, and well-being accessible to all.
Bay laurel: a plant that is much more than aromatic
Used since ancient times in both cooking and purification rituals, bay leaf is far from being a simple aromatic herb . Behind its small, leathery leaves are natural active compounds such as linalool , eugenol , and cineole . These are scientific names for substances known for their relaxing, anti-inflammatory, and purifying effects.
But be careful: this is not about consuming it excessively or making a miracle herbal tea. The secret? Burn one or two leaves in a heat-resistant container and let it work in peace.
