Burning medicinal herbs, also known as fumigation, have long been associated with religious and mystical reasons, but few know that there is a completely different effect – much more practical. Smoking is used not only to expel impure forces from an apartment, but it is one of the most effective ways to rid the air of harmful bacteria, spores, viruses, such as insects, flies and many other effects from the room. If you have dried sage at home or have a dried bay leaf, try it!
Elimination of viruses and bacteria from the home
It’s a great thing especially during the flu and virus season. Sage has antibacterial and antiviral properties. It’s a great way to disinfect the space in which you live.
It relieves stress and you’ll sleep better
It is an excellent form of aromatherapy. Inhaling herbal smoke has been used for a long time. It helps improve concentration, relieves stress and helps you relax better.
It will help clear your respiratory tract
Ayurvedic medicine claims that the presence of smoke from sage or bay leaf in a room – like incense – has a stimulating effect on the respiratory tract, helps loosen phlegm and cleans the lungs and bronchi. It’s excellent to inhale not only dried bay leaves but also aromatic bay oil. This method is also used as a supportive treatment to alleviate symptoms of asthma and allergies.
Goodbye flies and mosquitoes – just a few minutes and you have a pest-free house
It works indoors and outdoors. If you throw sage leaves on a grill or charcoal, you get relief from mosquitoes and flies. It works the same in a room. Place several leaves into a container that won’t catch fire, ignite, or smolder. It’s not a flame, but smoke that begins to spread into the space. Flies, mosquitoes and other insects hate it. Burning bay leaf works the same way.
An excellent natural anesthetic
Problems such as migraine or chronic muscle or joint pain can be helped by inhaling the relaxing smoke of herbs. The trick is that the essential oil from bay leaf and sage has a beneficial and calming effect on the psyche, which is torn by the feeling of physical pain and helps detach from painful sensations.
