Why burn bay leaves at home

As these leaves smolder, they emit a special smell. As a result, several important results are achieved at once:

  1. "Masking" the stench. The apartment starts to smell much better.
  2. Repelling insects. Cockroaches, ants and other "uninvited guests" really don't like the smell of smoldering bay leaves.
  3. Calming: The scent that appears can relieve stress and help you relax.
  4. Getting rid of headaches. This effect is often achieved.

How to burn bay leaves correctly

First, you need to choose the leaves that are the driest. Two pieces will be enough.

Secondly, before using the match, you need to put a bowl under the bay leaf so that you have somewhere to put the burning leaf. With this container, you will need to go into all the rooms of the apartment so that the pleasant aroma spreads better.

Third, be extremely careful. It is important not to burn yourself or set fire to anything other than the bay leaf itself. Follow safety rules.
