Our Bay essential oil, also called Laurel Leaf, is organic grown and distilled on the southern Greek island of Crete. It has a warm, soothing, fresh sweet and spicy aroma.
Aromatherapy benefits of Bay Leaf are said to include cold and respiratory conditions. Bay Laurel Leaf essential oil is a powerful antiviral with
scholarly papers documenting its effectiveness against SARS-CoV*. Also consider adding Bay Laurel in massage blends targeting muscular aches and pains and body lotions and creams geared toward feet and legs. Bay may also provide relief from headaches. Try adding a few drops of Bay Laurel and
Peppermint Premium into a foot bath to soothe and refresh tired aching feet.
Bay Laurel is sometimes confused with
