Forget the chemical sprays. Burning 2 or 3 laurel leaves naturally neutralises unpleasant odours, thanks to its antibacterial and antifungal properties. The air becomes cleaner, fresher… as after a walk in the Mediterranean forest.
A natural repellent against insects
Cafocks, mosquitoes or mites do not like eugenol and cineol released by laurel smoke at all. Burn a few leaves in the strategic corners or slide them dry into the cupboards: it’s kind of like putting an invisible barrier against pests, without toxic products.
Deeper sleep, naturally
Are you going around in circles in your bed? A laurel leaf burned 30 minutes before bedtime can calm invading thoughts. Its fragrance soothes, slows down the mind and slowly prepares for sleepiness. It’s kind of like a plant lullaby…
Boosting concentration: the push of neurons
During periods of intense work or examination, burning a laurel leaf can help you stay focused. Its smell stimulates the limbic system, which is responsible for memory and attention. Practice to remove the famous “mental fog”.
Energy cleaning: a lighter house and spirit
In many cultures, burning a laurel leaf by formulating an intention would release negative energies. Write a thought that weighs you on a dry leaf, then let it go up in smoke… a symbolic and soothing way of “making clean” in its head.
Necessary security advice
Even if the ritual is simple, take some precautions:
Use a flame-retardant container made of metal or ceramic.
Aerate the room after combustion.
Never let a leaf burn unmonitored.
