It’s important to distinguish between different types of laurel:
True laurel, or “Laurus nobilis,” is safe and used as an aromatic herb.
Oleander and cherry laurel are toxic and should only be used for ornamental purposes.
Bay leaves have been used for generations for their spiritual, physical, and therapeutic benefits. Embracing this natural remedy and continuing the knowledge of our ancestors can add a holistic aspect to our wellness routines.
