Apply Bay Leaves to Your Joints — In a Week You’ll Be Walking Like a Teenager

by

Ingredients

  • 5–6 dried bay leaves
  • ½ cup olive oil (or coconut oil)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon grated beeswax (if you want a thicker balm)

Instructions

  1. Crush the Bay Leaves:
    Lightly crush the dried bay leaves with your hands or a mortar and pestle to release their natural oils.
  2. Infuse the Oil:
    Place the crushed bay leaves in a clean glass jar. Pour the olive oil over the leaves, making sure they are fully submerged.
  3. Warm Gently:
    Seal the jar and place it in a warm spot (like a sunny windowsill) for 7–10 days. Shake the jar daily to help the infusion.
    Or: Warm the jar in a double boiler for 1–2 hours on very low heat if you want to use it sooner.
  4. Strain the Oil:
    After infusing, strain out the bay leaves using a fine sieve or cheesecloth. If you’d like a balm, melt in the grated beeswax now and stir until fully combined. Let it cool and solidify.
  5. Apply to Joints:
    Massage the bay leaf oil (or balm) into sore joints 1–2 times daily.
  6. Store:
    Keep the oil in a clean, airtight container. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 month.

Tip:
Always do a small skin patch test first to check for any allergic reaction. This is a traditional home remedy — consult a healthcare professional if you have arthritis or severe joint pain.
