 Bay LeafA friend mentioned that according to Taiwan's regulations, essential oils cannot claim any therapeutic effects. This is indeed true, so when I share about essential oils, I mostly focus on their fragrance and the benefits they bring to the mind, body, and spirit.A few days ago, I sorted through the essential oils I have shared before and realized there are many more I haven't talked about yet. It's time to continue this topic.Today, I want to share about "Bay Leaf." It's one of the few Lauraceae plants native to the Mediterranean. The leaves have a sweet aroma and a slightly spicy taste when chewed.Bay leaf has a pungent and warm nature, corresponding to the throat.Due to cineole, bay leaf has the characteristic of wind, which can clear away gloom and renew. A small amount of eugenol brings a slight spiciness. Linalool provides support and calmness. Pinene gives a woody support.
