Properties and uses of laurel in cosmetics and herbal medicine
In this in-depth study of Essential Oils we will learn about a plant associated with victory, greatness and celebration: theLaurel or Noble Laurel.
We will discover the many uses of its essential oil, dwelling in particular on its effects in combating hair loss.
The plant
Laurel, or Laurus Nobilis, is an evergreen plant typical of the Mediterranean basin, which prefers coastal areas. It is usually seen in shrub form, but if left to grow it can reach up to 10 meters in height, the size of a real tree.
In myth the Laurel is associated with Apollo, deity of the Sun and Reason: its leaves crowned the heads of sages, heroes and poets. This celebratory use has remained in vogue to the present day: in fact, the term laureate derives precisely from the Latin Laurus and means "covered with laurel," in reference to the typical wreaths that adorn the heads of recent graduates.
The Essential Oil
In addition to its culinary and celebratory use, the Noble Laurel is used to extract an essential oil with many beneficial properties.
It is used in herbal medicine as an antiseptic and anti-infective: is in fact capable of fighting the most common bacteria, viruses and fungi, facilitating the healing of mycoses and diseases of the respiratory system.
It is also used for compresses and massages by virtue of its anti-rheumatic properties; it also has a digestive and relaxing function on the intestines when taken orally.
On the skin, Noble Laurel Essential Oil performs a toning and balancing function: it is used to alleviate acne and dermatitis and to regulate sebum production.
In aromatherapy it has an anxiolytic effect, useful for regaining concentration in stressful and fearful situations. Ideal for overcoming performance anxiety before an exam or important event.
The effect on hair
As we said, Noble Laurel Essential Oil has a strong balancing power on the skin, capable of normalizing skin secretions. In addition, when rubbed into the scalp, it is able to reactivate microcirculation promoting oxygenation and nourishment of the hair.
These two combined effects make it a powerful ally in counteracting hair loss, which is significantly strengthened by its action.
