Essential Oil Profile of Laurus Nobilis - Bay Family - Lauraceae Country of Origin - Asia SD/DO - Leafy Branches Biochemical Specificity - Linalol, 1.8 ceneole, eugenol Aroma: sweet menthol It is recommended to age Laurus Nobilis at least a year before use as it becomes stronger over time.

It forestalls physical ageing and weakening of the mental processes. - Anti infectious, bactericide, viricide and fungicide - especially suited to support other oils in a blend. - It is a good expectorant with mucolytic properties and is helpful for lung infections (which may be a precursor to certain cancers), chronic bronchitis and emphysema. - Blend with Ravensara and Lavandula spica for an anti - flu formula. - Bay is a remarkable immunostimulant which enhances all physiological functions following an infectious process. - Blend with juniper and cinnamon bark for intestinal anti putrefactive/cleanser, as it may be helpful in cases of intestinal cancers. - Beneficial for ulcers, boils, acne and abscesses. Bay will act to accelerate the process of regeneration of the epidermis - especially in combination with Lavender, Palma Rosa, Tea Tree, Sage, Niaouli and Petitgrain. - Genito - urinary infections for women, blend with sage (helps with the emotional stability); and for men - blend with Rosemary Officinalis or Cypress. - Nerve tonic - for those who doubt themselves before exams or a job interview. Characterology of a Laurus Nobilis personality: - Laurus Nobilis represents greatness and victory. - Bay has a warrior temperament and therefore is used to march or move forward and as a leader gives a person the will to act. - Ravensara symbolises the sage within every great man and as such will control the excesses of the Bay temperament. - Laurus Nobilis is an exceptional character and can encourage each person to discover his power, take responsibility for himself both mentally and physically and objectively helps the individual to shake off emotional turmoil and mental lethargy.

Please call ahead for dates and locations! Research has shown that 1 in 3 to 4 women and 1 in 5 men have been abused and that health care professionals knowingly or unknowingly work with survivors on a frequent basis. This seminar will present ways to work more sensitively and thus more successfully with adult suvivors of childhood abuse. Participants will examine the dynamics of violence, ways long term effects may be manifested and guidelines which represent ways that health care professionals can ensure their practice is sensitive to adult survivors. Emphasis will be placed on examining ways that health care practitioners can integrate the principles and guidelines of sensitive practice into their own type of practice. A MUST class for everyone working directly with people.

It has been brought to our attention that there is a proposed restriction of Eucalyptus Oil at concentrations equal to or less than 25 percent, by the Cosmetics Division of Canada. Eucalyptus Oil above this concentration may pose a hazard to children who may accidently ingest it orally. Please keep all essential oils, especially Eucalyptus and Camphor away from children. Please ensure you take precautions to use essential oils wisely and safely. Err on the side of caution, use all essential oils topically with a carrier base, most especially for children, elderly and those who are very ill, to avoid any skin sensitivities. Please call our office if you are in doubt and for more information on safety. (January 2007, Notice). Please check this web site: www.hc-sc.gc.ca/iyh-vsv/life-vie/camphor-camphre_e.html
