Scientific Summary

California Bay Laurel is an evergreen tree whose aromatic leaves are harvested for use as a culinary and medicinal herb. It is traditionally used to support digestion, relieve breathing discomfort, assist kidney stone passage, and promote heart health. Use it sparingly, as large amounts can irritate the stomach or skin, and avoid internal use during pregnancy.
