A Final Note Before You Try It
These practices come from ancient traditions and are not based on scientific evidence. They should be considered wellness rituals, not miracle solutions. And above all, pay attention to the type of bay leaf you use:
- Laurus nobilis (the most common culinary variety): safe.
- Oleander and cherry laurel: toxic—never burn or consume them.
So, are you ready to try this ancestral ritual at home? Whether you want to cleanse your space or simply take a mindful pause in your day, a single bay leaf might just turn an ordinary moment… into one of gentle magic.
