Basil Essential Oil

Basil essential oil, also known as Sweet Basil oil, is the 100% natural extract obtained by steam distillation of the leaves of the Ocimum basilicum plant, a member of the mint family. This sacred herb has been revered in both Ayurvedic and European traditions for its purifying, uplifting, and emotionally balancing properties.

Renowned for its stimulating, cephalic, and antibacterial qualities, Basil essential oil is ideal for mental clarity, respiratory health, and muscular pain. It is commonly used to clear brain fog, ease sinus congestion, support digestion, and uplift the spirit. In massage and skincare, Basil oil helps soothe sore muscles, reduce inflammation, and combat acne. When diffused, its sweet-spicy aroma promotes mental focus and emotional harmony.

• Respiratory Relief: Basil is known to ease colds, coughs, and sinus congestion. When inhaled or used in steam therapy, it helps open up the airways and reduce inflammation in the respiratory tract.
• Pain & Muscle Support: Thanks to its antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties, Basil essential oil is effective for soothing headaches, muscular stiffness, and joint pain, making it a great addition to massage oils and bath blends.
• Skincare & Natural Healing: Basil oil’s antibacterial qualities make it useful in reducing acne and other skin infections. It also promotes wound healing and can be diluted for gentle spot treatment.

Directions for Topical Use: 
Dilute Basil essential oil (2-3%) with a carrier oil before topical application to minimize any skin sensitivity.

How to Use Basil Oil:

1. Aromatherapy: Add Basil essential oil to a diffuser or oil burner to invigorate the mind and lift the spirit. Inhale directly from the bottle or a tissue to clear the head and reduce fatigue.
2. Skincare: Mix 2–5 drops of Basil oil with 1 teaspoon of carrier oil (2–5% dilution) and apply to blemishes, wounds, or acne-prone areas. 
3. Hair & Scalp: Combine with a carrier oil and massage into the scalp to promote circulation and reduce dandruff. 
4. Massage & Pain Relief: Use diluted oil for a full-body massage or target sore areas like the neck and temples. Add to warm bathwater for relaxation and pain relief.
5. Respiratory Support: Add to hot water and inhale steam to relieve sinus congestion and coughing. Diffuse overnight in your bedroom to support easy breathing.
6. Natural Cleaning: Mix with water, vinegar, or alcohol (5–20% dilution) for a natural antibacterial surface spray.
7. Insect Repellent: Blend Basil oil with water in a spray bottle and mist onto skin or fabrics to ward off insects naturally.

Caution: For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. Discontinue use if any irritation occurs. Natural essential oils are highly concentrated and should be mixed with a carrier oil (2-5% of essential oil in 95-98% of carrier oil) before applying on the skin.
