Laurel is a symbol of wisdom, protection, and victory. In ancient Greece and Rome, laurel wreaths were awarded to scholars and heroes as emblems of honor and triumph.
Beyond its strong symbolic meaning, laurel has been valued since ancient times for its medicinal properties. Its leaves contain essential oils with anti-inflammatory, digestive, and antibacterial effects. It has been used in infusions and ointments to relieve muscle pain, aid digestion, and strengthen the immune system.
In mythology, laurel is linked to the story of Daphne and Apollo. According to legend, the nymph Daphne, in order to escape the persistent love of the god Apollo, was transformed into a laurel tree by her father, the river god. From that moment on, the laurel was considered a sacred tree, a symbol of purity and protection. It is also believed to ward off toxic love, becoming an amulet for independence and emotional clarity.
