Once a staple of traditional Asian Indian medicine, basil essential oil is now best known for its culinary uses. However, this powerful oil still has many other benefits.
Basil oil has a calming scent, soothing to both the mind and the skin, and able to help clear up redness and irritation.
It was traditionally used to relieve gastric distress, and many people still find that rubbing diluted basil oil on the lower abdomen can help manage discomfort.
Its volatile oils and distinctive scent can also help to clear pests and leave your home clean and hygienic.
Our 100% Pure Basil Essential Oil has a higher percentage of linalool and is a pale yellow to pale green in colour. Basil has a sweet-spicy, slightly green and fresh top note, a balsamic-woody undertone and a lasting sweetness.
