Sweet Basil Essential Oil

Sweet basil is known for being a potent antibacterial oil, making it extremely effective in preventing food-borne infections caused by bacteria, yeast, and mold, particularly E. Coli. It is a natural anti-viral oil, which makes it one of the best for treating cases of the common cold and the flu. It has also been recommended as a natural remedy for ear infections! Lastly, it naturally stimulates both the nervous system and adrenal cortex, providing a natural boost of energy and an increase in mood.

Metaphysically: Sweet Basil is associated with mental clarity, focus, and strength. It can be used to uplift the spirits, reduce anxiety, and enhance concentration for mental tasks or spiritual practices. It's also linked to protection and good fortune.

Safety is paramount when working with pure essential oils. This blend is potent and should always be diluted with a carrier oil (such as jojoba, almond, or fractionated coconut oil) before topical application. A general guideline is 1-3% dilution (e.g., 5-15 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier oil). Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Keep out of reach of children and pets. If pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor's care, consult your physician before use. Diffuse in a well-ventilated area and start with shorter diffusion times to assess your sensitivity.
