Basil Essential Oil

In India, basil was so revered that they dedicated it to Vishnu, a Hindu God, and is regarded as the reincarnation of Vishnu’s wife, Lashkimi, the goddess of fortune and beauty. Indeed, the plant and basil essential oil deserve all the adoration it receives due to its powerful effects that can be both beneficial to your body as well as your mind. Pliny recommended basil against jaundice and epilepsy, and as a diuretic. It was also known as an aphrodisiac. In the Middle Ages, it was prescribed for melancholy and depression. Basil’s strengthening, stimulating and restorative properties help to ease mental, emotional, and physical fatigue and, when added to a base oil and rubbed into the body, remove weariness from tense, tired muscles. Its restorative properties are said to ease headaches, respiratory infections, sinus problems, asthma, and flu.
A Summer Oil for the Winter
What’s truly impressive about basil is its restorative properties during the cold seasons. When temperatures begin to drop and the air begins to dry, our respiratory system begins to feel the full force of Fall and Winter. Luckily, basil is very effective when it comes to sinus congestion, bronchitis, asthma, and whooping cough. This is all due to basil’s natural antispasmodic properties that make it a natural ally to the respiratory system. Basil’s sudorific and febrifuge properties mean that the oil is a natural immune system booster and a great at combating a fever.
Basil Essential Oil for the Mind
Basil is one of the finest essential oils for our healing and relieving our nervous system. For long, draining days, it is one of the best essential oils at relieving mental fatigue, clearing the head, and giving the mental strength and clarity to continue to perform. Due to these traits, basil is recommended to those with low levels of defense such as people with debilitating illnesses, nervous exhaustion, and those who may be in a weak and vulnerable state of mind.
Emotional Booster
Basil’s emotional healing properties are also incredibly versatile. Fear, anger, and mental fatigue are all factors and emotions that we have to deal with on a daily basis and can make basic processes harder. Basil essential oil helps clear the mind allowing for better decision making. Its uplifting properties can help boost a lack of confidence, diminish negative thought processes, and even increase awareness of one’s surroundings. It is even effective when in extreme states of stress such as depression and hysteria. Basil can be used when you start feeling mental tiredness during the peak hours of the day, or it can be used at the end of the day to help calm down, relieve stress, and clear the mind to be strong for the next day.
