Bay Leaf, Wild: Turkey (Laurus nobilis)

This large evergreen is native to the Mediterranean with Turkey being one of the largest exporters of this oil. Anciently the Greeks and Romans used Bay Leaves to crown the winners of their games. It was a plant that was regarded to promote good luck. Bay Leaves have a long historic use to cure and prevent disease and are now a common flavoring in Western culture. The essential oil, although approved as a flavoring and generally regarded as safe, contains high amounts of Cineole that can be toxic in extreme amounts.
