Bay Leaves (Hojas De Laurel) For Sore Joints And Cockroach Repellent! Did You Know?

 Did you know that if all you do is add bay leaf or two to your soups or stews you are missing out on other uses, mainly as a natural soother? Bay leaf is not only used in stress management (can be steeped as tea) but if you have a cockroach problem (which I hope you don't) you can crush some leaves and scatter around problem areas and the chemical bay leaf releases (Cineole) is a  natural repellent!
 I must warn if you are pregnant you should stay away from using medicinal amounts of bay leaf, the herb was used for thousands of years to stimulate menstruation and abortion. The FDA has approved  it as safe, so if you are a healthy non pregnant, non nursing adult, bay leaf is considered safe in amounts typically recommended.

God Bless And Have A Good Thursday!
