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.

Basil is a highly versatile herb, known for its antimicrobial effects as well as its uplifting psychological benefits. It has also been shown to calm swelling, repel insects, and aid digestion.
What's the best way to use basil oil?
The balsamic notes of basil oil make an effective and unique pick as a home cleaning base. Combining it with your favourite carrier oil can also help to treat sore muscles and inflammation in the body.
What does basil essential oil smell like?
Akin to the aromas of pesto, our basil oil is crisp and herbaceous with warm sweet notes and a balsamic-woody undertone.
