You probably already know that bay leaf is incredibly versatile and beneficial; it helps with almost everything. It regulates blood sugar levels, aids in treating colds, SARS, pneumonia, and bronchitis, heals skin wounds, restores the digestive system, boosts the immune system, and is a natural antiseptic that literally mows down and removes all bacteria and viruses. It contains various tannins and astringents, which are very beneficial for the intestinal mucosa, has anti-inflammatory properties, and contains many vitamins, macronutrients, and microelements. In general, if you start to study the issue more carefully, you get the impression that humanity would have died out without bay leaf.
