Bay leaves have excellent anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, diuretic and anti-fungal properties. The essential oil from Bay leaves contains mostly cineol, eugenol, acetyl eugenol, methyl eugenol, α and ß-pinene, phellandrene, linalool, geraniol and terpineol which makes it most powerful in therapeutic uses for skin, hair and overall health.
