Aqua Oleum Basil 10ml is a 100% pure, steam-distilled essential oil extracted from the leaves and flowering tops of the ‘sweet’ or ‘French’ Basil variety (*Ocimum Basilicum*). This natural, undiluted oil has a fresh, sweet-herbaceous, and slightly spicy aroma.
It is widely valued in aromatherapy as a fortifying and stimulating nerve tonic. Its key benefits include promoting mental clarity and focus, helping to relieve mental fatigue, nervous tension, stress-related headaches, and migraines, and easing muscle soreness. It is also an effective natural insect repellent.
The oil blends well with other essential oils such as Bergamot, Clary Sage, Geranium, and Lime. For use, add 5-10 drops to a bath, 3-5 drops to a vaporiser to help clear the mind, or dilute 5 drops in 10ml of a carrier oil for body massage. This product is vegan and hypoallergenic. Caution is advised: do not take internally, avoid contact with eyes, and seek professional advice if pregnant or breastfeeding. It may cause skin sensitization and should be used in a low dilution.
