The West Indian Bay tree is often grown in groves together with the allspice or pimento bush, then the fruits of both are dried and powdered for the preparation of the household allspice.

The so-called bay rum tree also provides the basic ingredient for the famous old hair tonic, which is made from the leaves by being distilled in rum.

An excellent oil to include in muscle rubs and sports products as well as still being a favoured spice note in aftershaves.
