Bay leaves and salt: an age-old remedy that's worth its weight in gold

What if the most precious treasures were already hiding in your cupboards? Behind their apparent simplicity, some combinations transcend generations without ever losing their allure. This is the case with bay leaves and salt, an age-old duo often passed down by our grandmothers, whispered like a well-kept secret. We know them in the kitchen, of course… but their uses go far beyond that, and might just surprise you.

Why this combination has always fascinated

Bay leaves have long been associated with protection, wisdom, and comfort. Salt, on the other hand, symbolizes purity and balance. Together, they form a simple, accessible, and deeply reassuring ritual. Without miraculous promises or alarmist pronouncements, this combination is part of a holistic approach to well-being, focused on listening to the body and bringing peace to everyday life.

A gentle ally for digestive comfort

Used as a light infusion, bay leaf is traditionally enjoyed after a heavy meal. Its subtle aroma pleasantly accompanies the end of a somewhat heavy day. A small pinch of salt is enough to enhance this hot drink, more for the ritual than for the taste.

Here, the essential thing is not the immediate effect, but the moment we allow ourselves: slowing down, breathing and offering our body a comforting break.

A welcome feeling of relaxation
