Bulk Organic Cinnamomum Tamala (Bay Leaves) Leaves

In Ayurveda, Cinnamomum tamala helps balance Vata and Kapha doshas and increase Pitta. It is considered hot and helps improve digestion, which can reduce bloating, indigestion, and poor appetite. It is also used for respiratory problems, like clearing mucus and easing coughs. In Siddha medicine, the leaves and bark are used to relieve gas and have astringent properties. They are often given to support the liver, improve heart health, and reduce inflammation.

The leaves contain many active compounds, mostly in their essential oil. The exact mix can change depending on the region. Many leaves have eugenol, which gives a clove-like smell. Some have cinnamaldehyde (like cinnamon) or linalool. The oil also contains monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, including beta-caryophyllene, sabinene, limonene, and alpha-pinene. The leaves also contain flavonoids like quercetin and kaempferol, along with polyphenols, tannins, and glycosides, which contribute to their antioxidant and antimicrobial effects.
