Everyone likes to have a home that smells good, especially in winter! However, more and more people are avoiding synthetic perfumes because not only are they expensive, they also don’t smell, not to mention they’re allergenic. But are there healthier alternatives? Find out why you should use bay leaves.

With the current trend towards organic and natural, we are starting to seriously question home fragrances that contain artificial ingredients that could be harmful to our health. The key is to turn to nature.

Why do you have to stick bay leaves on the radiator?

Air fresheners, room sprays and home fragrances…  This is the promise of a natural quality product that   provides well-being and    creates   a soothing atmosphere at  home. But is it true? These products that you love so much are made of harmful components that can damage your respiratory system  . In reality, companies focus their efforts on the level of   multisensory marketing   to promote their business and unfortunately, consumers only see fire. So, to   spread a  fresh and above all natural  scent throughout the house, here’s what to do.

• Place bay leaves on the radiator

If you put a few   bay leaves on the radiator  ,   you will be amazed at how they can smell in a few minutes and last for days. To do this:

• Turn on your heater and wait for it to warm up
• Place a handful of bay leaves directly on the radiator (you can also put them in a container filled with heat-resistant water and place everything on the radiator)
• Let it work, the longer the bay leaves are in contact with the heat, the more pronounced the smell will be.

Bay leaf is not only a pleasant smelling aroma, but also a   powerful deodorant   that   neutralizes and eliminates  bad odors   .

What to do with dried bay leaves?

If you choose the first method, the bay leaves will be dry. You can   put them in a bag   and   make an herbal tea  whenever you want.

Another method using bay leaves allows you to enjoy its subtle and soothing aroma. Simply burn a few bay leaves in a container and let the scent permeate your interior. Economical and natural, this plant purifies the air in the room without endangering your health.

The next time you’re feeling stressed, sleepless, anxious, in a bad mood, or just need to smell your home, turn on your heater, pull out a few bay leaves, and enjoy their benefits.
