Bay leaves come from the bay laurel plant, an evergreen shrub that grows slowly in warm climates. The plants are grown for ornamental use and dried and used in cooking. The thick and leathery leaves are elongated with pointy ends. Most often, recipes call for dried bay leaves, which have a slightly stronger scent than fresh. The amazing thing for many will be the fact that the bay leaf is not only a valuable spice but also a unique gift of nature that humanity has used from time immemorial for the treatment of various diseases and ailments.
Below are exceptional health benefits of bay leaf according to health experts.
For digestion. In case of such a problem, you need to drink 4-5 drops of juice from a fresh bay leaf and drink it with a glass of water. Literally, in a few minutes, the stomach will start working and all the unpleasant symptoms of indigestion will immediately go away.
Flatulence. If your stomach reminds you all day of gas formation and rumbling in your stomach, pour four bay leaves of 100 ml of slightly cooled boiled water and leave for twenty minutes. Take this herbal mixture in the morning and evening until the problem disappears.
Bee Sting relief. If you are bitten by a bee, wasp or any other insect, you can cope with the irritation that appears on the skin with the help of an ordinary leaf.
