Περιγραφή
Bay leaves have been in our kitchens for thousands of years. One finds references to the laurel as early as the time of Homer, while in antiquity it was considered a sacred tree. Many healing properties were attributed to it, mainly antiseptic and relaxing. And not without reason, as according to traditional medicine, laurel:
- It has antipyretic properties.
- It reduces anxiety and stress.
- When we inhale steam from bay leaves, it "opens" our respiratory system.
- It banishes insomnia.
