Description
Bay leaves have been used for centuries in natural medicine. They help reduce inflammation, relieve joint and muscle pain, improve circulation, and relax the body. This simple homemade bay leaf remedy can be more powerful than many ointments for easing discomfort and stiffness.
Ingredients
- 10–12 dried bay leaves
- 1 cup olive oil (or coconut oil)
- 1 glass jar with lid
Instructions:
- Crush the bay leaves slightly to release their natural oils.
- Place them in a clean glass jar.
- Pour olive oil (or coconut oil) over the leaves until fully covered.
- Seal the jar and let it sit in a dark place for 10–14 days, shaking gently every day.
- Strain the oil and store it in a clean container.
How to Use:
- Massage the oil gently onto sore joints, knees, or muscles.
- Use daily for best results.
- The warming effect of bay leaves combined with olive oil helps reduce stiffness and makes movement easier.

Do you want me to also make a quick tea version of bay leaf for internal use (digestion, inflammation), or keep it only as an ointment-style oil?
