Bay Leaves and Feng Shui
According to feng shui, bay leaves bring harmony and financial abundance to the home, and also help to balance energy.
Did you know this? If your answer is no, don’t worry! We’re going to tell you all about it.
What is a bay leaf?
The laurel is a shrub native to the Mediterranean and its leaves have been used for multiple purposes for thousands of years. Its trunk is smooth and straight, from which its raised branches grow and from where its leaves emerge.
The leaves are dark green and they stand out for their lanceolate shape and their aroma. This is precisely why the leaves are used in different gastronomic preparations and flavorings for the home. The laurel also has beautiful small white flowers that grow in clusters of four or six.
Its properties aren’t just recognized in recipes and feng shui, but also in the field of natural medicine.
According to recent studies, bay leaves contain essential oil with digestive properties that help reduce gas and contain hepatoprotective properties. Similarly, the leaves contain iron, calcium, and vitamin A, among other antioxidants.
Equally, laurel favors the expulsion of mucus, making it a great ally in the treatment of bronchitis and pharyngitis. It also helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Bay leaves according to feng shui
As you can see, bay leaves have outstanding medicinal properties. Now, we’re going to tell you how to use them to attract money, luck, and the right balance of energies to your home. Take note!
Submerge the leaves in water
The first of the rituals that feng shui proposes to attract good fortune to your home consists of immersing bay leaves in a bowl of water. You should take a few leaves and put them in the water for one minute.
After this time, take some of the leaves in your hands and squeeze them until they break a little. Then throw them on the ground. Repeat these same steps three times, with the rest of the leaves.
Bay leaves and light
The following ritual proposed by feng shui includes using a candle, which represents light. In this case, the candle should be green, just like the bay leaves themselves.
To open the doors of your home to good energy and economic abundance, hold a bay leaf in your hand, under the candlelight. Tune your thoughts with what you want to attract and then burn the entire leaf with the flame.
Place bay leaves under your pillow
According to feng shui, bay leaves attract luck and victory. Not in vain either! For thousands of years, the triumphal crown, made with laurel leaves, has been awarded as a synonym for success and triumph.
Place some bay leaves under your pillow and before you go to sleep, take five minutes to fill your mind with thoughts of victory and abundance. This may relate to your personal, love, or work life. Do this every day for a month, but be sure to change your pillowcases every week.
Do you already use bay leaves to attract good fortune?
As we’ve seen, bay leaves have many meanings and uses. If you believe in good luck rituals, go ahead and try them at home. By mustering your positive energy, your willingness to attract the best for you and your loved ones will greatly improve.
Now, if you don’t believe in this, don’t forget that this plant is medicinal too. It has many good things to offer you in the field of health and nutrition. So, keep some leaves in your pantry or grow a tree at home.
