Bay (Laurus nobilis) is a perennial persistent foliage shrub with dark grey bark of the Laureaceae family. It includes two varieties, golden bay tree (Laurus nobilis aurea) and the narrow leaf bay tree (Laurus nobilis angustifolia).

This is a superb oil to use both topically for immune support and inhaled as an invigorating respiratory treat. It would make a beautiful addition to soaps, scrubs or body oils for use in the shower or bath, or incorporated into a diffuser blend.

Essential oils, properly used, are safe and effective for many routine issues, but there can be bad, even dangerous, reactions from people who are grossly misusing them. Our advice: Study up on the different oils, their risks and benefits; consult with a licensed aromatherapist, not only the distributor for a company. Always read the fine print on the bottle, look it up on the official internet website of the brand about how to use them.

A couple of simple tips (not a complete list), includes:

Do not apply undiluted essential oils to your skin.

Do not put drops of essential oil into a bath and then step into it.

Do not ingest essential oils unless advised to do so by a practitioner who is qualified/licensed to prescribe essential oils in this way. 

It is not advisable to directly and intensively inhale essential oils for longer than 15-20 minutes.

Essential oils are flammable, and should not be used in any way that involves close proximity to a naked flame or similar fire hazard.
