This greenish-yellow oil has a crisp, refreshing aroma and is widely used in aromatherapy to awaken the mind, steady the nerves, and promote clear thinking. Although native to tropical Asia and the Pacific Islands, basil is now cultivated across Europe and the USA. Basil oil is valued for its benefits to the respiratory system and is commonly used for asthma, bronchitis, and sinus infections. It is also believed to ease nervous disorders, stress-related headaches, and migraines, helping reduce mental fatigue while improving focus and mental strength. The oil may help relieve constipation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and is considered supportive for menstrual discomfort. Additionally, basil oil is thought to reduce uric acid levels, offering relief for gout and arthritis, as well as refreshing the skin and soothing insect bites. In India, basil holds deep cultural and spiritual significance, used for prayer, healing, and traditional remedies. The leaves are chewed during ceremonies, soaked in holy water, and distributed in temples, and are also taken to ease sore throats and coughs. Experts recommend avoiding basil essential oil during pregnancy and for children under 16.
