Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Bay leaf (Laurus nobilis) has been used traditionally in various systems of herbal medicine, including Ayurveda and traditional European healing, to support general health and, in some cases, for heart-related ailments, often described as “heart weakness” or as a tonic for the cardiovascular system. However, the traditional evidence is limited and mostly anecdotal, with uses related more to digestive health, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Mentions of bay leaf for heart weakness specifically are sparse and typically involve its inclusion in multi-herb formulas rather than as a primary treatment.

Scientific evidence for bay leaf’s efficacy in treating or supporting heart weakness is lacking. Modern studies on bay leaf have focused primarily on its antioxidant compounds, essential oils, and potential metabolic benefits, but there are no robust clinical trials or pharmacological studies directly connecting bay leaf to improvements in heart function or the treatment of heart weakness. Therefore, while it may appear in traditional remedies, the evidence supporting its use for heart weakness is weak and primarily based on historical rather than scientific data.
