Bay leaves have long been valued in traditional wellness for their calming and cleansing properties. When taken before breakfast, especially during fasting, they may help support circulation, balance blood pressure, and promote relaxation. This gentle tea is a soothing way to start the day, awakening the body while keeping digestion light.
INGREDIENTS:
– 3 fresh or dried bay leaves
– 1½ cups water
– ½ teaspoon honey (optional)
– A small slice of ginger (optional for warmth)
INSTRUCTION:
1. Boil the water in a small pot.
2. Add bay leaves (and ginger if using).
3. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until the aroma deepens.
4. Remove from heat and let it rest for 2 minutes.
5. Strain into a cup and add honey if desired.
SERVE:
Drink warm on an empty stomach before breakfast or during fasting hours. It’s best enjoyed slowly to allow the body to absorb its soothing essence.
NOTE:
This tea supports relaxation and circulation but is not a medical treatment. Avoid excessive use if pregnant or on medication for blood pressure. Combine with hydration, gentle stretching, and balanced meals for overall wellness.
