Tulsi (Basil) is the ‘Queen of herbs’ and indeed, it is
‘the incomparable one’, considering the health and
beauty benefits that are associated with it. Basil
essential oil contains all the goodness of tulsi in a
concentrate form. This powerful oil with fresh, sharp,
herbaceous-minty odour combined has clarifying,
uplifting and warming effects.
It is also one of the most commonly used herbs for
essential oil extraction. This extraction process
amplifies the medicinal properties of the plant, flower,
or tree. Every drop of essential oil is so concentrated
that one drop can be compared to pounds and pounds
of the plant used for extraction.
Basil essential oil has an aroma that can be calming
and refreshing. However, basil has an estimated 50 to
150 number of species all over the world, so how a
basil essential oil smells will depend on the species
and where it’s grown.
Basil Field
Basil originates from tropical Asia and the Pacific
Islands, but is now cultivated throughout Europe
and the USA. The plant is an annual hairy herb
growing up to 1 meter (3 feet).
The flowers range from white to pink, depending
on the species and attract swarms of bees in
summer time. Basilicum comes from the Greek
word 'Basilicos' meaning 'king' or 'royal'.
A much favored herb in India, it is held sacred to
Krishna and Vishnu, and the leaves are even
chewed before taking part in religious ceremonies.
It is said to have protective qualities, a Basil leave
is placed on the chest of a Hindu when resting. It
is also used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine.
