Bay Laurel is a pale yellow-green oil with a fresh, strong but sweet, aromatic camphoraceous, somewhat spicy medicinal odour, with a thin consistency, a top note and a strong aroma.
Bay Laurel is known for its strong effects on the nervous system. Its antispasmodic and analgesic properties make it mildly narcotic. Coupled with its sedative properties, it is used for neuritis, depression, anxiety, fear and psychosis. Its stimulating and warming properties are used to produce fire and warmth in one's emotions, bringing awareness, courage and confidence.
I love this oil in soap blended with citrus oils, and it makes a refreshing start to a busy day to help you centre yourself before you enter the real world.
Blends well with citrus (orange, grapefruit, mandarin and bergamot), conifers (cypress, juniper, pine), herbies (clary sage, lavender, rosemary), resins (benzoin, frankincense, labdanum) oils.
Expired Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil (Feb 2018) - suitable for soapmaking, candles, incense, etc.
Non-toxic, possible skin irritant (methyl eugenol); some sensitization; cross sensitization with costus. Avoid in pregnancy.
