West Indian Bay Leaf

Pimenta racemosa

Scientific Summary

The West Indian Bay Leaf is the dried leaf of the West Indian bay tree (Eugenia jambolana). It is primarily used to support digestion, reduce inflammation, and combat microbial infections, and it is also valued for its antioxidant properties. In typical culinary amounts it is safe, but consuming large quantities can cause stomach upset and it should be used cautiously by pregnant individuals and those taking blood‑thinning medications.
