Targeting lymph nodes: Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt suggests rubbing a few drops of bay laurel on swollen lymph nodes; this will produce an immediately noticeable relieving effect. He says, “The positive and pleasant effect of this oil is so distinct and strong that one application will normally suffice to convince the most hardened skeptic to use it.” Caution: Frequent use of laurel leaf on the skin for more than three weeks can result in sensitization and irritability. As with anything in life, a happy medium is the key to success. For a healthy body, one weekly application is an effective preventive measure. During the flu season, it may be applied more frequently. After the acute phase of an illness is over, it is advisable to take a break from using laurel leaf.
