- Laurus Nobilis is also widely known as sweet bay or bay leaves. Bay leaves are used regularly in cooking, preserving food, and also for dispelling pests.
- There are many other bay plants that are poisonous, so make sure you're using Laurus Nobilis to be safe.
- In ancient Rome and Greece, the Bay Laurel leaves were used to create wreaths to crown poets, scholars, athletes, kings, war heroes and successful figures. This is where the terms "Poet Laureate" and "Baccalaureate" come from.
- Bay Laurel includes a constituent called 1,8 cineol (eucalyptol). You can learn more about this powerful constituent here.

Extra note from me: after doing some research, I'm adding Laurel Nobilis to my facial spritz as well as to my hair spritz. Try it for 60 days and see what a difference it could make for you!
