About this product
Crush a basil leaf between your fingers on a summer morning and you have this oil. Its higher linalool content makes it smell much more like the fresh herb than basil oils usually do, green and sweet, and it makes a good wake-up oil when used in moderation.
It comes from organically produced Ocimum basilicum, linalool type, grown in Nepal. Regular basil oils owe their stimulating, sometimes irritating edge to their phenol content; this linalool basil should be much less irritating.
It blends with a long list of friends: the citrus oils, black pepper, the cedarwoods, clary sage, coriander, cypress, fennel, geranium, ginger, jasmine, juniper, niaouli, orange, palmarosa, pine, rosemary, sage, tea tree and the thymes.
Details
- Botanical name: Ocimum basilicum, linalool type
- Origin: Nepal; organically produced
- Shelf life: about 2 to 3 years after opening
How to use
Use it in moderation, diluted in a carrier oil or added to a diffuser blend for a bright start to the day. Avoid it if you are pregnant or subject to seizures, and keep it out of reach of children. Store it dark and refrigerated, and decant a half-full bottle into a smaller, full one to extend its life. A summer morning in a small bottle.
