Basil essential oil, ethically harvested
Basil in its original form is most renowned for its inclusion in Italian cooking. However, this sweet, fresh herb has beneficial properties that reach far beyond a tasty flavouring for pasta.
Sweet Basil is a lush, aromatic herb which thrives in warm climates. Steam distillation is applied to the leaves of the plant to release a sweet, herbaceous essential oil.
Basil oil when used in a massage or bath blend can help to ease digestive complaints. It is also said to assist with mental clarity and boost courage, ideal for a diffuser blend during times of stress or emotional strain.
