Laurus nobilis
8-18€ / 10ml
The laurel of Greek mythology -- crowns of victors at the Olympic Games and of poets (hence 'laureate'). Apollo wore a laurel crown. The Pythia of Delphi chewed leaves before delivering her oracles. Beyond myth, it is a recognized medicinal plant since Antiquity. Turkey and Croatia are today's main producers.
One of the most balanced biochemical profiles: 1,8-cineole (anti-infectious) + linalool (calming) + eugenol (analgesic) + lactones (mucolytic). This versatility is rare. It is also the 'exam oil' -- reputed to give self-confidence and courage in psycho-emotional aromatherapy.
