This is Why You Should Burn a Bay Leaf in Your Home

After the bay leaf is burned, they become airborne and reduce respiratory inflammations, treat colds, and prevent allergies.

Bay Leaves Are An All-Natural Way to Reduce Anxiety
A 2016 study by the American Association of Nurse Anesthetics found that bay leaves contain two compounds, one which decreases anxiety and another which has a mild psychedelic effect.

The compound can be absorbed in ten minutes when smelling burning bay leaves, but it works quickly after simply heating them up on their own or with other ingredients like mints for your favorite dishes!

For a good smelling room, set out dried bay leaves and burn them in an ashtray.

Then leave the room for about five minutes before blowing on the embers to put it out. Return after this time has passed and breathe deeply until you feel better!
