FAQ

Q: How does placing bay leaves on a radiator save money?
A: The bay leaves release a subtle aroma that can create a sense of warmth and comfort, potentially allowing you to lower your thermostat slightly without sacrificing cozy ambiance, thus reducing heating costs.

Q: Is it safe to put bay leaves directly on the radiator?
A: Yes, as long as your radiator surface is not too hot to avoid burning the leaves. Using a cloth pouch can help contain the leaves safely.

Q: Can I use other herbs instead of bay leaves?
A: Absolutely! Herbs like rosemary, thyme, or lavender can also release pleasant scents when warmed and may have additional air-purifying benefits.

Q: How often should I replace the bay leaves?
A: Replace the leaves every 2-3 weeks or when the scent starts to fade for the best experience.

Q: Will this method help humidify the air?
A: No, bay leaves do not add moisture to the air. If you want to humidify, consider using a separate humidifier.
