Basil Essential Oil

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.

• Diffuse to purify the air in your space, promote mental clarity, and deter insects like mosquitoes.
• Dilute with a carrier oil and use topically to boost immunity, reduce inflammation, joint stiffness, muscle pain, and gastrointestinal symptoms like gas, bloating, cramps, constipation, and water retention.
• Use in skincare products to reduce oily buildup and acne, fade scars and discoloration, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Use for aromatherapy to help feel more grounded, less anxious, and promote feelings of happiness and stability.
• Add 2-3 drops to your shampoo or conditioner to balance the scalp and promote new hair growth.
• Great for DIY soaps and household products.
