Bay Rum Oil Description

Bay Rum Tree is a medium sized tree native to the West Indies. It is closely related to allspice Pimenta dioica. Oil is distilled from the leaves and a type of cologne named bay rum was historically made by distilling the oil using rum and water. Bay has a spicy, sweet aroma that invigorates, opens the senses and enlivens the spirit.

Bay Rum Properties:

The leaves of the West Indian Bay Tree, also known as the Bay Rum Tree,(not to be confused with Bay Laurel) are the source of the essential oil. Dilute in olive oil and use as a stimulating scalp tonic.

Bay blends nicely with eucalyptus, supporting the effects of eucalyptus during cold and flu season while moderating its intense medicinal aroma.
