Characteristics of Basil

Basil is an aromatic, annual plant of the Lamiaceae family, with glossy leaves and a strong, fresh aroma. Its essential oil comes mainly from the leaves and flowers and has a sweet, spicy and slightly cool aroma. There are several chemotypes, with different properties, but the most widespread is the European or "sweet" basil.

History of the Basilisk

Basil has been used for centuries in cooking, folk medicine, and religion. The ancient Greeks and Romans considered it a sacred plant. In India, holy basil (basil) is worshipped as a divine protector of the home. In traditional Mediterranean medicine, it was used for digestive problems, headaches and tension.

Ingredients

Basil essential oil from the fresh leaves and flowers of the plant using the hydrodistillation method.

Chemical composition

Basil essential oil contains mainly linalool, methyl chavicol (or estragole), and eugenol. The composition varies depending on the type of plant and the region of cultivation. This profile gives it antispasmodic, antibacterial, and soothing properties.

Instructions for use

  • Aromatherapy: Ideal for enhancing concentration, reducing stress and boosting mood. Add 3-5 drops to a diffuser. 

  • It combines well with vanilla, sandalwood, orange, cinnamon, ylang ylang.
  • Topical use (in dilution): Useful in massage oils for muscle tension, cramps and headache (1-2 drops in 10ml base oil).

 Use in Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, basil is used to move energy (Qi), relieve pain, and improve blood flow, especially in cases of "cold stomach" and digestive disorders.
In Ayurveda, basil – especially holy basil (Ocimum sanctum, tulsi) – is considered an excellent herb for balancing Kapha and Vata, with detoxifying, immune-boosting and anxiolytic effects.

Useful tips

The use of basil essential oil should be avoided during pregnancy, breastfeeding and by children.
