# Bayleaf (Laurel)

> This test measures the level of IgE antibodies in your blood that specifically target bay leaf, also known as laurel. It helps show if your immune system is sensitive to this herb, which is useful if you experience symptoms like hives or stomach upset after eating seasoned meals. These results assist in ruling out bay leaf as a trigger for your symptoms compared to other ingredients. However, this test cannot predict how severe a future reaction might be or diagnose food intolerances that do not involve the immune system.
