- Essential oils are powerful, concentrated substances so a little goes a long way. Two of the most effective ways to use them is by way of inhalation and topical use. Ingesting Laurel Leaf essential oil is rarely necessary or recommended, no matter the brand. Ingestion can lead to adverse reactions such as medication contraindications, mucous membrane irritation, sensitization and nausea if done incorrectly. Therefore, if you wish to take essential oils internally, we strongly recommend consulting with a knowledgeable professional with experience in internal use.
- Laurel Leaf, Laurus nobilis, is a powerful and potent essential oil that can effectively allay breathing and respiratory concerns when cold and flu strike. Its a decongestant and expectorant. For the musculoskeletal system, it is an anti-inflammatory and analgesic and pairs well in blends for muscle and joint aches and pains as well as muscle spasms. It is a diuretic, ridding the body of excess fluids and can also bring down a fever. It also can uplift and energize, giving focus and concentration to those who breathe in its aromatics. So in short, diffusing with Laurel Leaf can help the respiratory system and support those during cold and flu season and can help focus the mind when tasks are at hand.
- There are several ways to effectively use Laurel Leaf essential oil and obtain its benefits, including 1.) Add 10 drops to your essential oil diffuser per 100 ml of water. 2.) Add 10 drops to an Essential Oil Inhaler and take it with you for on-the-go therapeutic use. 3.) Create a spray by combining 20 drops Laurel Leaf and 1 tablespoon 190-proof grain alcohol in a glass spray bottle. After a few hours, add 3 tablespoons of distilled water. Spray onto surfaces and in the air to refresh your space.
- Laurel Leaf has an incredibly refreshing aroma due to its cineole content. It’s somewhat sweet with spicy herbal undertones. It contains eugenol and carries spicy notes that are similar to Clove oil. Blend it with other 1,8 cineole oils to enhance its cleansing of the respiratory system and add it to your diffuser. Laurel Leaf will uplift the spirit and mind and enhance positivity and confidence.
- Animals such as dogs metabolize essential oils very differently than humans. If choosing to use Laurel Leaf essential oil around your dog, it’s important to look out for warning signs such as behavioral differences, such as whining, scratching or acting loopy. Stop using essential oils around your dog if you notice these signs, and don’t use essential oils around small dogs, puppies and pregnant dogs. We don’t recommend applying essential oils to your pup or administering oils orally without consulting a holistic veterinarian. You may diffuse small amounts of oil around your dog, but be sure to do so in a well-ventilated room where your dog can leave if desired.
