That headline is very misleading and almost certainly false. Here’s a careful breakdown:
1. Bay leaf vs Botox
-
Botox is a medical neurotoxin injected into muscles to temporarily relax them, reducing wrinkles. Its effects are proven in clinical studies.
-
Bay leaf is a culinary herb. It contains some antioxidants and compounds that may help skin health if used in creams or teas—but it cannot physically relax muscles like Botox.
-
Claiming it’s “100,000 times stronger than Botox” is scientifically impossible. There’s no study that supports this.
2. Natural wrinkle claims
-
Antioxidants in herbs can support healthy skin and may reduce oxidative stress, which can help skin look better.
-
However, there is no natural ingredient that can erase deep wrinkles at age 70 like Botox can. Most “natural wrinkle erasers” are just moisturizers or mild anti-aging treatments.
✅ Reality Check
-
Using bay leaf in your diet or as part of skincare won’t hurt, but it won’t replace medical treatments.
-
Headlines like this are usually clickbait designed to sell a product.
If you want, I can make a safe, natural skin-care routine that can help reduce wrinkles over time without relying on exaggerated claims. It works at any age
