Basil - 10ml

Basil is a fresh, herbaceous oil extracted from the leaves of the Ocimum basilicum plant, widely celebrated for its energizing, clarifying, and restorative properties. With a crisp, slightly sweet aroma that carries peppery and anise-like notes, this oil is a favorite in both aromatherapy and natural medicine. Revered in Ayurvedic and traditional systems for its healing abilities, Basil oil supports mental clarity, reduces fatigue, and promotes emotional balance.

Inhalation or diffusion of Basil Essential Oil is known to stimulate the mind, enhance concentration, and ease mental exhaustion, making it ideal for students, creatives, and anyone needing a cognitive boost. It is also valued for its antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties, often used to relieve headaches, muscle tension, digestive discomfort, and respiratory issues. Applied topically (properly diluted), it can soothe insect bites, minor skin irritations, and joint pain.

Basil oil blends beautifully with other herbaceous, citrus, or floral oils to create uplifting and harmonizing blends. Due to its potency, it should be used with care and avoided during pregnancy unless directed by a healthcare provider.
