• Bay leaves have a long history in traditional medicine for aiding digestion, often used as an infusion or decoction. They are traditionally believed to help alleviate digestive discomfort and promote gastric health.

  The presence of compounds like cineole and eugenol may contribute to the plant's carminative effects by relaxing smooth muscle tissue in the gastrointestinal tract. However, specific mechanisms remain under investigation.
