Tree Story

About California Bay Laurel

The California Bay Laurel (Umbellularia californica) is a marvelous, multi-talented tree. It can be large or small, fast growing (4 feet per year), or slow (4 inches per year). It can make a marvelous individual specimen, or can be closely planted in rows and trimmed into a formal hedge. As an individual, this tree may strike an imposing silhouette in the landscape at over 140 feet tall with a monumental trunk over 10 feet across, or it may become a charming and diminutive “kitchen tree,” living happily in a decorative container, scenting the patio with its spicy aroma and waiting to contribute the flavor of its piquant leaves to the next gourmet sauce or hearty stew.

Umbellularia californica
is famous throughout its native range in California and Southern Oregon, where it goes by many names: Bay Laurel, Myrtlewood, Pepperwood, Bay Tree, Spice Tree, Pacific Myrtle, California Laurel, Cinnamon Bush, Peppernut tree, and several others. According to the USDA Forest Service, this tree species is “the most valued and best publicized hardwood species in the Western United States.” It’s an evergreen with leathery, spear-shaped, glossy green leaves, which are laden with aromatic oils.

In addition to its varied physical forms, culinary uses, great adaptability to diverse climates, soils, temperature, and light conditions, Bay Laurel is highly valued for the beauty of its wood. “Myrtlewood,” as it’s often called, features a rich, honey color, and is often turned into polished bowls, wall clocks, statuary, and other decorative items. In culinary use, Umbellularia californica has a stronger potency than the traditionally used European Bay Tree (Laurus nobilis), so less is required in most recipes calling for “bay leaves.” Native cultures used this wonderful tree extensively not only for its wood, but also for food, medicine, preservative, and as a pest repellent. The oldest reported Umbellularia californica is a 1,200 year old specimen in Northern California.

Tree Tea Body Wash
It does its job of decreasing ringworm and body flake skin itch. I need to give more time to make it work. Patience is the key. It has strong scents of Tea Tree Oil. After rinsing them off for a couple of minutes, it gives a clean rubbery feeling to it. Make sure you moisturize your skin after the shower bath.

Stick caused breakout on face and neck
This is a wonderful product but be wary if needing it for face and neck. It immediately caused blocked pores where pores were smaller.

Results after one use!
I know different products work differently for each person. However, I really noticed a difference in lightening of my facial freckles in one use! I am a pale redhead with tons of sunspots and freckles. I was not taught to use spf as a child and have tons of spots on arms, chest, and face. As I get older, they have really started to bother me and age me. I tried the orange version of this soap years ago and really didn’t see any change. I was reluctant to try this white version, but it was affordable, so I did. I could not believe my face after one use! Overall complexion was lighter and my biggest sun spots diminished. I kept noticing results each day after using. My arms - which are just covered with freckles - I didn’t see much lightening improvement but I think I will over time. They are just really severe cases. But I can see it working on my face, so certainly my arms will follow. Also, I know this sounds weird - but my elbows became soft and silky! Without lotion! I was amazed! My elbows have never felt that good! Even with scrubs and body oils. I looked like a freak petting my elbows all day. It must be the exfoliating and moisturizing properties of this. Magic. I am sad because I had to stop using them temporarily but no fault of the product. I’ve been having SEVERE hormonal, post-pill acne. I have been hesitant to put this on my face now because I’m afraid it may make it worse. But..seeing some of these reviews maybe it may help heal it. It’s horrible anyway..why not try to reintroduce it? Hmm. Anyway, try it! What have you got to lose? I am very very very impressed with this white version!!!
