Ingredients:

• A handful of dried bay leaves
• 1 cup of olive oil

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bay Leaves: Crush the dried bay leaves slightly to release their natural oils.
2. Heat the Olive Oil: In a small saucepan, gently heat the olive oil over low heat. Do not let it boil.
3. Infuse the Oil: Add the crushed bay leaves to the warm olive oil. Let it simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.
4. Cool and Strain: Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool. Strain the oil into a clean jar, discarding the bay leaves.

Application

1. Massage the Oil: Apply the bay leaf oil to the affected areas. Gently massage in circular motions, working upwards towards the heart. This helps improve circulation and reduce inflammation.
2. Repeat Daily: For best results, use the oil daily, preferably before bedtime, so it can work overnight.
