If you’ve ever been to a yoga studio, you may have smelled a particular smell. This is because fumigation is often practiced there.
It is a Native American tradition that uses the smoke of sacred herbs to purify a room. This ritual resembles burning incense. And very often, bay leaves are used for this practice. It must be said that bay leaves have unsuspected benefits.
Why use bay leaves?
For Native Americans, laurel is a legendary and sacred plant. It is often used in pharmacies, spas and relaxation centers. This plant is also used as a pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and even an antifungal. But above all, it is a remarkably effective cleaning product. In other words, using bay leaf is the ideal solution to having a clean home.
By adding bay leaf to cleaning products, it is possible to eliminate bacteria present on toilets as well as mold that has developed in the walls. This plant gives off a pleasant aroma which, in addition to eliminating unpleasant odors, constitutes a formidable repellent for cockroaches and other harmful insects. A priori, bay leaf does not represent any danger to health or the environment. This is a good alternative to chemical cleaning products.
