Our Bay Laurel Leaf hydrosol is handcrafted in France using only the finest organic bay laurel leaves. The artisan distiller has informed us that this hydrosol is an exceptional choice for the lymphatic system, with Suzanne Catty, a well-known aromatherapist, highly recommending its use for this purpose.
Bay Laurel hydrosol is a natural solution for hair and skin care. It has anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic properties. It soothes irritations, reduces inflammation, and encourages cell regeneration on the skin. On the hair, it prevents dandruff, strengthens hair follicles, and promotes healthy hair growth. It is an excellent astringent skin toner that helps to tighten the skin, reduce the appearance of large pores, and reduce the frequency of breakouts, making it particularly useful for those with acne-prone skin. It is also a refreshing facial toner for men to use after shaving, as it calms and soothes the skin.
Suzanne Catty recommends Bay Laurel Leaf hydrosol as the best choice for cleansing and toning the lymphatic system. It aids in lymphatic drainage and circulation, which can help to reduce swelling and promote detoxification. Additionally, Bay Laurel is an immune booster that can help with systemic infections or as a prophylactic for fast-spreading viral infections such as influenza. She also suggests combining Bay Laurel hydrosol with Green Myrtle (either as hydrosols or essential oils) to provide extra protection against infections.
Our Bay Laurel Leaf hydrosol is distilled using traditional methods, ensuring that all of its beneficial properties are retained. It is a natural and safe alternative to synthetic astringents and toners that can be harsh on the skin. Whether you're looking to improve your skin's appearance, boost your immune system, or promote lymphatic health, Bay Laurel Leaf hydrosol is an excellent choice.
