This image shows a person looking under a bed where there are many bay leaves scattered. Placing bay leaves around the house, including under the bed, is believed to have several benefits:
- Repel Insects: Bay leaves contain compounds like eucalyptol, which are thought to repel insects such as cockroaches, ants, and moths.
- Improve Sleep and Relaxation: Some people believe the aroma of bay leaves can promote relaxation and better sleep due to their mild, pleasant scent.
- Spiritual and Cultural Practices: In some cultures, bay leaves are considered to bring good luck, prosperity, or protection.
To use bay leaves in this way, simply scatter a few fresh or dried bay leaves under the bed or around the room. Replace them every few weeks to maintain their effectiveness.
