Feel more balanced and grounded with Basil Essential Oil. This essential oil offers a deeply relaxing yet energizing aroma that’s herbal, spicy, sharp, and reminiscent of black licorice. Its bright medium-strength scent is perfect for diffusing and creates an uplifting atmosphere in any space.

Steam distilled from the leaves of the Basil plant, this oil has been used for centuries in traditional healing across cultures like ancient Egypt, China, and India. It’s naturally anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antibacterial, and antiseptic. Using Basil oil helps calm anxious nerves and promotes feelings of peace and stability.

One popular use of Basil Essential Oil is haircare, where the healing compounds in this oil help balance the scalp and nourish hair follicles at the root to promote the growth of thicker, more lustrous hair. Try adding a few drops of Basil to your shampoo or condition to reduce excess oil, treat dandruff, smooth frizzy flyaways, and slow hair loss.

Other Basil Essential Oil benefits include skincare and first aid. Use Basil with a carrier oil to treat acne, psoriasis, eczema, and prevent infections in small cuts and scrapes. It also calms red, itchy skin due to allergies or insect bites. Additionally, Basil oil can help soothe sore, tired muscles and relieve joint pain.

  • Does Basil Essential Oil smell like fresh basil?

  • What are some Basil Essential Oil benefits?

    Basil Essential Oil benefits include skincare, haircare, healing minor wounds, preventing infection, boosting immunity, pain relief, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and concentration. This oil is also a powerful digestive aid that reduces bloating, gas, cramps, and water retention.

  • What are the spiritual benefits of Basil Oil?

    Basil is used in many spiritual practices to bring balance to the mind, body, and spirit. It cleanses negative energy from your space, strengthens intuition, and helps you feel more empathic.

You can also diffuse this oil to deepen your personal spiritual practices.

  • What is the difference between Basil Oil and Holy Basil Oil?

    Basil and Holy Basil come from two different plants and have different chemical compositions. However, they provide many of the same therapeutic benefits and Holy Basil essential oil uses often overlap with Basil. Choosing whether to use Basil or Holy Basil is a matter of aroma preference. Basil is milder, more herbal, spicy, sharp, and licorice-like, while Holy Basil has a stronger scent that’s warm, spicy, sweet, and fresh.
