Bay laurel’s Latin name, Laurus nobilis, means “verdant” and “noble”. Laurel wreaths have been associated with honor and glory for centuries, crowning kings, heroes, athletes, poets, and oracles.

Healers have treasured bay laurel’s ability to protect against disease and cure nearly everything, using it to increase positive healing energy and to clear negative energy after illness has passed.

Place this pretty cushion in a corner of your sofa, your breakfast nook, or your bedroom to invite bay laurel’s noble protective and healing properties into your home.
