4. Symbol of Wisdom and Clarity
Many ancient scholars and oracles were crowned with laurel. Sleeping with it nearby was thought to promote mental clarity and insight, helping you wake up with a clear mind and fresh perspective.
🌿 How to Use Laurel Under Your Pillow
It’s simple and requires nothing fancy—just a few dried bay leaves and an open heart.
Here’s how:
- Take 2–4 dried laurel leaves (make sure they’re clean and unscented by oils).
- Slip them under your pillow or place them in a small cloth sachet.
- Set an intention before bed—whether it’s peaceful sleep, guidance through dreams, or emotional healing.
- Replace the leaves every 7–10 days, or when they start to crumble.
✨ Optional: Combine with other calming herbs like lavender or chamomile for an extra dreamy effect.
🕯️ More Than Just a Ritual
Whether or not you believe in the mystical side of laurel, there’s something deeply comforting about connecting with an old tradition, especially one that centers on rest and healing. In our often overstimulated world, this simple ritual invites us to slow down, ground ourselves, and find stillness.
