Learn all about Basil Essential Oil

Basil is one of the most popular culinary herbs, with a classic warm, sweet, and spicy aroma. Basil means 'royal herb' in Greek. Our Basil essential oil is extracted from Ocimum basilicum.

Basil was cultivated for more than 5,000 years and originated in India. Later, Basil was introduced to western Europe, where it quickly became a crucial component in their gastronomy.

The rich aroma of our Basil Essential Oil energizes and stimulates the body and mind, enhances mood, increases alertness, and soothes muscle aches.

Dosage

Dosage - How much Basil Essential Oil should I use?

Pure essential oils are concentrated and potent; a couple of drops are usually enough for topical use and aromatherapy. Always do a patch test; half teaspoon of carrier oil to 1-3 drops of essential oil. If tolerated you may increase the ratio until desired effect.

You may inhale the aroma directly from the bottle or sprinkle a few drops of the oil onto a cloth or tissue or use three to four drops in the diffuser or vaporizer of your choice.

Combine basil essential oil with a carrier oil, such as almond, coconut, or avocado oil, and use it directly on your skin, after a patch test, applying one to two drops to the desired area. Basil oil can also be used in your bath water or on a cloth for your clothes dryer instead of an artificial fragrance sheet.
