Laurel oil

Laurel oil is an essential oil derived from the leaves of the laurel tree, specifically the Laurus nobilis, commonly known as bay laurel. It has a sweet, herbaceous aroma and is used in aromatherapy for its calming and soothing properties. The oil is also known for its potential medicinal benefits, such as antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. In culinary uses, it can add flavor to dishes, though it’s more commonly used in soaps and cosmetics for its fragrance and skin benefits. Due to its concentrated nature, it should be used with caution and diluted appropriately.
