Tension, stress, anxiety … Aren’t you afraid of them?
What if we told you that there is one plant that will free you from everyday worries or stress and at the same time help you very effectively to unwind and relax?
No, we’re not talking about marijuana or any other illegal plant.
The truly magical little plant that can tackle stress is nothing other than the ordinary bay leaf.
What did one Russian scientist discover?
Russian scientist Gannady Malakhov discovered that this aromatic plant, originating from the Mediterranean region, has several amazing and extremely useful properties.
When commonly used in cooking, bay leaf affects us as follows:
- detoxifies the body
- slows aging
- protects the body from bacterial infections
- improves digestion
- helps control diabetes
- improves heart health
- alleviates respiratory difficulties
In addition to the aforementioned known effects, he found that when bay leaves are burned, the smoke from them can very effectively rid people of anxiety and stress.
How to apply the smoke
The only thing you need to do is take one dry bay leaf, place it in an ashtray, light it, and leave the room for 10 minutes.
Also remember to close the doors and windows of the room so the smoke does not escape. However, it is good if you can see into the room, for example through a glass panel in the door, for fire safety.
When you return after 10 minutes, you will find the leaf completely burned and the room will be full of fragrant and rich smoke that will create a special atmosphere in the room.
How does burning bay leaf work on stress?
When a bay leaf burns, it releases specific substances into the air that boost positive energy in you and stimulate feelings of relaxation.
These substances help our body relax and break down accumulated stress.
Upon entering a room filled with smoke from a flamed bay leaf, take a deep breath through your nose and relax.
Before you know it, all your stress, anxiety or restlessness will instantly evaporate as if waved away by a magic wand.
