Description - doTERRA Basil essential oil
Basil has a warm, spicy, yet herbal aroma known to provide a feeling of calm and centredness. Basil provides great benefits to both the mind and body due to its high linalool content, making it an ideal application to enable feelings of calmness and centreing when applied to the temples and back of the neck. Basil is commonly used in cooking to add a fresh, herbal flavour to meats, pastas, and entrée dishes, and it is also cooling to the skin.
