Basil (Ocimum basilicum) is from the mint family, and it can add a fresh flavor to many dishes, particularly Italian inspired cuisine. There are over 200 species of basil varieties and it grows around the world. It has a naturally sweet, herbal and spicy smell. Basil oil, and indeed, the basil plant, is a rich source of linalool. This naturally occurring compound can help to lift the mood.
This essential oil is ideal for aromatic use and topically for purifying and cleansing.
Since basil is part of the mint family, it has impressive antibacterial qualities. You can use Basil oil to purify the air of seasonal threats. If used around your home, it can also provide a fresh smell that is more palatable than artificial floral air fresheners.
