Bay Laurel Essential Oil

Bay Laurel Essential Oil

Description

The bay tree is an evergreen, reaching 7.5 to 9 metres (25- 30 feet), sprouting thick glossy leaves. When in season the Bay produces yellow tinged flowers and rich blackberries. This sturdy evergreen tree is a native of West Indies, Venezuela and the Guianas.

Bay oil was very popular with the Romans, who thought Bay was a symbol of wisdom, peace and protection. The Latin Laudis means to praise, which is why the victors at the Olympic games were presented with a Laurel (Bay) Wreath.
