We know all the laurel leaves to perfume a good pot-au-feu or a home-made soup. But what few people know is that by burning them, these little green leaves release far more than their perfume. What if a natural, almost forgotten old trick could soothe your stress, purify your interior and even help you sleep better? This ancient, simple and effective ritual deserves attention…
Burning laurel leaves: an ancestral ritual with modern virtues
From ancient Greece, the laurel symbolizes victory, wisdom and protection. Scholars and champions wore them in crowns, but they also burned in temples to purify the air and keep away the negative waves. Today, this practice is back at the forefront of the stage… and even modern science is beginning to take an interest in it.
Stress reduction: a puff of serenity
