That claim isn’t true.
Bay leaf (tej patta) is a culinary herb. It may have small amounts of antioxidants and compounds that are being studied for general health effects, but there is no scientific evidence that it is “100,000 times stronger than Botox” or that it can erase wrinkles in elderly skin.
Botox (botulinum toxin) works in a very specific, medically controlled way: it temporarily blocks nerve signals to muscles, which reduces expression lines. It’s a prescription cosmetic/medical treatment backed by clinical research and regulated dosing.
Wrinkles at age 70 are influenced by long-term collagen loss, sun exposure, genetics, and skin thinning. No spice, herb, or food has been shown to reverse that in the way Botox or dermatology procedures can.
If you’re interested in reducing wrinkles naturally, realistic options include:
- Daily sunscreen (this is the biggest factor)
- Retinoid creams (vitamin A derivatives)
- Moisturizers with hyaluronic acid or ceramides
- Professional treatments (laser, microneedling, Botox, fillers)
If you want, tell me your age and skin goal, and I can suggest a simple routine that actually fits your situation.
