Basil Essential Oil 10 ml

Basil essential oil (Ocimum basilicum) is a sharp, herbal oil often referred to as the "Oil of Renewal." It is highly regarded in aromatherapy for its ability to clear mental clutter and provide a refreshing boost to both the skin and the respiratory system.

Key Benefits and Uses

Mental Clarity & Focus: Known as a powerful brain tonic, it helps reduce "brain fog," sharpens concentration, and minimizes mental fatigue during long work sessions or study periods.

Respiratory Support: Acts as a natural decongestant; when diffused or used in steam inhalation, it helps clear the sinuses and ease symptoms of coughs and colds.

Soothes Muscle Tension: Its anti-inflammatory properties make it an excellent addition to a massage oil for relieving tired muscles, joint stiffness, and menstrual cramps.

Skin & Scalp Health: Helps balance overactive oil glands. It is frequently added to facial cleansers to combat acne-causing bacteria or to shampoos to refresh a greasy scalp.

Digestive Comfort: When diluted and massaged onto the abdomen, it can help soothe occasional bloating, gas, and digestive discomfort.

Natural Insect Repellent: The spicy, herbaceous scent is a natural deterrent for mosquitoes and other household pests.
