The Magic of Bay Leaves

Bay leaves, often used in cooking, are more than just flavor enhancers. They’re packed with compounds that can benefit your heart health. Creating a tincture from these leaves is a wonderful way to harness their goodness.

Preparing the Tincture

You’ll need:

• 8 large bay leaves

• 300 ml of water

Here’s how to prepare it:

1. Boil the Bay Leaves: Place the bay leaves in a pot with 300 ml of water. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. This process extracts the beneficial compounds from the leaves.

2. Cool and Strain: Let the mixture cool down, then strain it. You now have your bay leaf tincture!

Crafting the Potion

Each night, before heading to bed, prepare your potion. It’s simple:

• 150 ml of water

• 3 full tablespoons of bay leaf tincture

• Half of a lemon (squeezed)

• 1 tablespoon of honey

Mix these ingredients together. The lemon adds a fresh twist and vitamin C, while the honey brings natural sweetness and its own set of health benefits.

The Five-Night Therapy

For this therapy, drink one glass of this potion each night, for five consecutive nights. It’s a relaxing routine to end your day with and a step towards better health.

Why This Works

The compounds in bay leaves, along with the vitamin C from lemon and antioxidants in honey, work together to support heart health. They may help in managing cholesterol and triglyceride levels, contributing to overall well-being.
