If we have ever been in a yoga studio or spa place, maybe we will find a very distinctive aroma. Because the location regularly practiced smudging, a Native American tradition that uses certain herb smoke to purify the room. This rite is similar to burning incense. One of the herbal ingredients that can be used for smudging is bay leaf. The leaves of the greetings for thousands of years have been legendary. The ancient Greeks and Romans greatly appreciated this leaf. Laurel leaves are not only used in food but can also be used as an aroma in creams, lotions, perfumes, soaps, even detergents. Traditionally, bay leaves are used as a sedative, analgesic, anticonvulsant and antiinflammatory. Laurel leaf also has antibacterial, anti fungal, and lowers blood pressure. This leaf is often used to help overcome insomnia, chronic stress and improve mood. As a flavoring dish, bay leaves can help manage glucose and cholesterol levels in diabetics and prevent kidney stones. If used as tea, bay leaves can prevent the growth, spread of leukemia and other cancer cells. When stress or mood is bad, just burn one or two bay leaves on top of the aluminum container in the room or office and leave the room for 10 minutes. Make sure we have closed the window to avoid a fire-free wind, keep away from flammable objects (such as paper, cloth or cloth) and make sure not to burn them under a smoke detector. When we return to the room, the smoke of bay leaves will make the mind and muscles feel relaxed. We will find it easier to focus on the task. Once done, we can throw the ashes away.
