Bay Laurel - 10ml

Bay Laurel, steam-distilled from the glossy leaves of the Laurus nobilis tree, is a powerful and aromatic oil known for its purifying, clarifying, and protective qualities. With a fresh, spicy, and slightly sweet scent, this oil has a long history of use in ancient Greece and Rome, where laurel wreaths symbolized wisdom, victory, and protection.

In aromatherapy, Bay Laurel is revered for its ability to promote confidence, focus, and mental clarity. It is commonly used to support the respiratory and lymphatic systems, helping to relieve congestion, encourage detoxification, and reduce swelling. Its antibacterial and antiviral properties make it a useful oil during seasonal illnesses and for promoting overall immune health.

Topically, when properly diluted, Bay Laurel can be used to soothe sore muscles, joint pain, and scalp issues such as dandruff. Emotionally, it supports courage and emotional resilience, making it an excellent oil to diffuse during periods of challenge or transformation.

Its warm, spicy, and camphoraceous aroma blends well with wood, citrus, and herb oils, making Bay Laurel a versatile addition to therapeutic and aromatic blends.
