Let’s feel good about ourselves and celebrate the people we are. It’s so easy to get locked down by focusing only on our flaws! Reminding us to remove self-doubt, Laurel Leaf is extraordinary helpful for those who suffer from low self-worth and a general lack of energy.
With an enticing earthy and slightly sweet aroma, Laurel Leaf promotes health and supports sore muscles and joints. It can also inspire clear breathing.
The Ancient Greeks and Romans used Laurel Leaves to signify glory and reward. Victorious generals were crowned with Laurel Leaves and cheered by crowds. If the word sounds familiar, there is a reason. The modern title, "bachelor," awarded to college graduates, is derived from the Greek word "bacca-laureus," meaning laurel-berry.
Native to the Mediterranean, Europe and the United States, Laurel trees grow up to 60 feet and produce dark-green fragrant leaves and small yellow leaves that develop into small purple or blackberries. Through a steam distillation process, the essential oil is extracted from the proud and hearty Laurel leaves.
