Laurel: be careful not to confuse its varieties!
Laurel or “Laurus nobilis” (scientific name) is a shrub native to the Mediterranean basin and is part of the Lauraceae family. There are many varieties that can cause confusion:
Laurel and noble laurel: these shrubs with large, dark green foliage act as aromatic herbs.
Oleander and cherry laurel : these two plants are toxic and very dangerous. You can only use them as ornaments!
In addition to flavoring and making dishes tastier, bay leaves have multiple effects that are beneficial on a spiritual, physical and therapeutic level, and our ancestors understood this well. It would therefore be a shame not to follow in their footsteps and ignore their proven knowledge of this plant!
