Abstract

The essential oil of noble laurel contains a complex of mono- and sesquiterpenes, phenylpropanoids and oxygen-containing terpene compounds. Modern research confirms its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and sedative properties, as well as its effectiveness in disorders of the respiratory and digestive systems. This article summarises data on the chemical composition, biological activities and applications of the oil in medicine, cosmetology and sanitary technologies.
