Properties and Uses of Laurel in Cosmetics and Herbal Medicine
In this in-depth look at essential oils, we’ll explore a plant associated with victory, greatness, and celebration: the laurel, or noble laurel.
We’ll discover the many uses of its essential oil, focusing in particular on its effects in combating hair loss.
The Plant
The laurel, or Laurus nobilis, is an evergreen plant native to the Mediterranean basin, which thrives in coastal areas. It is usually found as a shrub, but if allowed to grow, it can reach up to 10 meters in height—the size of a full-fledged tree.
In mythology, the laurel is associated with Apollo, the god of the Sun and Reason: its leaves were used to crown the heads of sages, heroes, and poets. This celebratory tradition has remained in use to this day: the term “laureate” in fact derives from the Latin *Laurus* and means “covered in laurel,” referring to the traditional wreaths that adorn the heads of recent graduates.
The Essential Oil
When applied to the skin, Noble Laurel Essential Oil has an invigorating and rebalancing effect, offering the following benefits:
-
Skin Refinement: It is particularly effective at reducing the appearance of imperfections such as acne and redness, improving the texture of the skin.
-
Sebum regulation: It helps balance sebum production, keeping the Scalp fresh and matte.
-
Relaxing aromatherapy: It has a soothing and calming effect, helpful for promoting concentration and mental well-being during times of intense activity.
-
Emotional balance: It is ideal for regaining confidence and calm before important events or challenging situations, instilling a pleasant sense of serenity.
The Effect on Hair
As mentioned, Noble Laurel Essential Oil has a powerful rebalancing effect on the skin, capable of normalizing sebum production. Furthermore, when massaged into the scalp, it reactivates microcirculation, promoting oxygenation and nourishment of the hair.
These two combined effects make it a powerful ally in combating hair loss, and thanks to its action, hair gradually becomes stronger.
