02 — Key uses
WHAT IS ORGANIC BAY LAUREL ESSENTIAL OIL USED FOR?
Bay Laurel essential oil is traditionally associated with oral-care routines, seasonal respiratory comfort, digestive wellbeing and aromatic routines for confidence and preparation.
Bay Laurel, Laurus nobilis, is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to the Mediterranean region. It belongs to the Lauraceae family and has been closely linked to European and Mediterranean culture for thousands of years.
In ancient Greece and Rome, laurel wreaths were symbols of victory, achievement and intellectual distinction. Victorious athletes, military leaders and celebrated poets could all be associated with the laurel crown.
The plant also has a long culinary history. Its aromatic leaves remain widely used today to flavour soups, sauces, stews and slow-cooked dishes.
Bay Laurel essential oil is obtained by distilling the leaves of Laurus nobilis. Its fragrance is fresh, aromatic, green, slightly spicy and subtly camphoraceous.
This complex aromatic character explains why Bay Laurel is used across a range of aromatherapy routines, from seasonal diffusion and digestive wellbeing to more targeted oral-care applications when permitted by the product.
Its long association with victory and accomplishment has also contributed to its modern use in aromatic rituals linked to confidence, concentration and preparation before an important event.
As with all essential oils, composition and aroma can vary according to botanical origin, growing conditions, harvest and distillation.
