​Basil Essential Oil is a bright, herbaceous, and intensely aromatic oil steam-distilled from the leaves and flowering tops of the Sweet Basil plant. It is highly valued across the aromatherapy, perfumery, and food flavouring industries. Its primary therapeutic reputation lies in its ability to uplift the mind, improve
mental clarity and focus, and provide
anti-spasmodic relief for muscles and the digestive system.
