Prepare the Bay Leaf:
Take a whole, dried bay leaf. Make sure it’s intact and not broken.
Light the Bay Leaf:
Using a match or lighter, ignite the edge of the bay leaf until it catches fire.
Let it burn for a few seconds before the flame extinguishes, and it starts to smolder.
Allow the Aroma to Fill the Room:
Place the leaf on a heat-safe dish or metal tray.
Let the room fill with the soothing, aromatic smoke as the bay leaf smolders gently.
Relax and Breathe:
Take a few deep breaths, and allow the calming effects of the bay leaf to work. After 10 minutes, you should start to feel the difference.
