Laurus nobilis, or sweet bay, is used in cooking as a flavoring and preservative, for its aromatic essential oil in perfumes and cosmetics, and in traditional medicine to aid digestion, fight inflammation, and relieve respiratory issues. The plant is also grown ornamentally for its appearance and for use in topiary and hedging.
