Sweet Basil Essential Oil 100% Pure

Description

Sweet Basil essential oil is a crisp, herbaceous, and invigorating oil known for its ability to enhance focus, relieve tension, and support respiratory and digestive health. Steam distilled from the fresh leaves of Ocimum basilicum, this variety (commonly referred to as linalool-type Basil) offers a sweeter, softer aroma than other basil chemotypes, making it suitable for both therapeutic and aromatic applications.

• Supports respiratory function – Clears sinuses and promotes deep breathing

• Helps relieve headaches – Useful in temples and neck massage blends
