Bay leaf appears in many folk recipes that are intended to replace industrial developments.

For example, bay leaves are stored together with pasta, cereals, even sugar. This way you can avoid pests. You can also burn bay leaves instead of air freshener. And that's not all.

Few people know why they actually need to wear a bay leaf under the insole of sports or winter shoes.

This is not a talisman or a way to find love, but rather a very cheap invention.

This life hack protects against unpleasant odor that occurs when wearing shoes for a long time.

The trick with bay leaf helps in winter and summer, and even with excessive sweating.

As is known, the cause of the smell lies in the multiplying bacteria.

And bay leaf fights many microorganisms, thereby disinfecting shoes and giving feet a more pleasant smell.

To eliminate the unpleasant smell, just put a few leaves in your sneakers and leave them overnight.

If desired, you can leave a bay leaf under the insole. You will have to change the freshener as you wear your shoes, but at least once a week.
