Description
The bay laurel is an evergreen shrub common in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea region, but today it is grown mainly in Europe. In ancient times, however, the tree was believed to have magical powers that enabled it to ward off evil and disease.
Both the ancient Greeks and Romans regarded bay leaves as very sacred and precious, as they symbolised victory and high status. The Greeks also considered it a powerful medicine that could protect them from plague and various diseases. Bay leaf essential oil has many healing properties that can be used to deal with various health conditions.
The health benefits associated with the properties of bay leaf oil are: antiseptic, antibiotic, antineuralgic, antispasmodic, analgesic, cholagogue, tonic, appetite stimulant, insecticide, sedative and astringent.
It is obtained by steam distillation of the leaves. Bay leaf oil is harmless and has no side effects unless used in high doses, as it has very high levels of the active ingredient eugenol.
