I do not suffer from chronic headaches, but discovered the connection a few years back while hiking in the canyons around Los Angeles. I love the smell of bay leaf and often brought it home for cooking. On one such hike, I ground some bay leaf between my fingers to release the aroma, gave it a good sniff and was quite taken aback by the effect; a cool, aromatic sensation, followed by pretty intense pain. The aroma and sensation was particularly acute and highly localized very deep in the sinus. I came across this site while researching the cause of this pain, experienced again today. Hope this helps someone. I’m surprised little is know about this relationship.

My cluster headaches had been in remission for 8 years until two weeks ago. While doing some research to investigate new treatments, I came across this article and discovered that my wife had brought a decorate wreath into the house that included California Bay Laurel Leaves two weeks ago when my headaches returned. The wreath has been removed and the constant tingle in my nose is already gone. Thank you for providing this information. My cluster headaches had been in remission for 8 years until two weeks ago.
